Thanks, that's an interesting read. My other half phoned BT yesterday but was told a date for the switch over has to be set before they will entertain any inquiries about a specific change over.

One thing that did occur to me is there is no mains outlet anywhere near the existing phone point so that will have to moved and that in turn will have implications for the extension phone sockets upstairs.

She got a letter from BT today to inform her that she will be getting a letter with a date for the switch over. I can see me having to drive a 500 mile round trip when we lose contact :bawl:

I have outgoing calls!  Was provided with a couple more setup details by IDNet, which at first didn't seem to work.  Came back an hour later and the N300 was showing the connection as registered.

However, if I try calling the number it comes up as invalid number.  So there's work to be done yet on figuring out the incoming calls.

That's good news, Dud!  Hopefully my Gigaset phones will work in the same way when I come to switch.

I have VOIP!! No-one notified me that the changeover had happened. I only found out when daughter failed to make contact and alerted me via WhatsApp. Changed connection of elderly Panasonic DECT base station from BT master socket to IDNet-supplied and preconfigured TP-Link VX_230v router and it just works!

I saw a news story about this the other day, but unfortunately I can't find it now.  It's a complete debacle, and I can't see how BT are going to manage this for the whole country by the end of 2025.

I'll be fascinating to hear what happens when BT/OpenReach try to get my 95 year old mother-in-law switched over :)x

She got a letter from BT today to inform her that she will be getting a letter with a date for the switch over. I can see me having to drive a 500 mile round trip when we lose contact :bawl:

OK thanks, it's possible then.

I don't know if the BT Hub's ATA supports Loop Disconnect dialling (as against DTMF), but it might.

I'm trying to remotely help out some friends who still run on steam i.e. they have a rotary dial phone!

They do have an FTTC provision though BT. Some while ago they were given a date, now long past, to be switched to 'Digital Voice'. As their rotary dial phone is still working I have doubts that they have been switched. Would I be right?
