Whilst I have cordless phone which certainly should be compatible ,I am considering an EE Digital Handset as I believe it is a bit easier to set up. However do not seem to be any on EE shop ,found this one on Amazon-I assume it would be ok. https://www.amazon.co.uk/EE-Phone-Digital-Voice-Service-Black/dp/B0GBXSQGMW/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dib=eyJ2I...
Still awaiting Engineer visit, do you still need Adapter for this phone if using in room away from Hub?
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

No, the BT/EE Home Digital Phone has no cord to plug into an ATA adapter. It connects by DECT to a DECT base station built-in to the router. Therefore it should have similar range to ordinary DECT cordless handsets. These I find v. good. I can use them in the back garden from the base station in front of house.

Any normal phone is easy to set up anyway. Just plug it into back of router or an ATA adapter remote from router.

Yes, it should be OK as it is advertised to "Works With BT And EE Digital Voice Service".
Thanks! You're welcome 🙂 ! Glad I could be of assistance & trust it is now sorted.
