The landline switch to digital

Digital Voice is BT’s new home phone service, powered by your broadband connection.

Landlines are going digital. It will be clearer calls and protection against scam calls. For most phones it will be as simple as plugging your home phone into a router rather than the phone socket on the wall. For most customers you can still use your existing phone, you will keep your own number and it won't cost you any money.

You can watch this 2.33 minute video for more information.
