I want to share with you some information about a digital home phone available on BT’s Digital Voice service. This particular home phone comes with Alexa built-in 😃 During these extraordinary times, a phone call from a friend or family member can make your day, and with our Advanced Digital Home Phone with Alexa built-in, customers can enjoy clearer calls – as well as the convenience and great range of features that Alexa provides.”

No, you should not use the Alexa service for dialling the emergency services and if there is a power cut or a problem with your Broadband please make sure that you have another way to call for help in an emergency. The product uses DECT Technology, therefore, each handset has a range of up to 50m indoors/300m outdoors from the base station (in ideal conditions).However, while Alexa is able to connect to smart devices around the house, it is not a surveillance tool, and its implementation into BT's Advanced Digital Home Phone is entirely at the user's discretion. HD calling means incredible sound quality on your home phone – almost as if the person you’re speaking to is in the room with you. You can only have one active Alexa session at a time. Playing music would be the single active Alexa session. The second handset would not respond to the Alexa button press and it will show a blue circle next to it to show Alexa is active on the other handset. The second handset will be able to make calls using BT as usual. Alexa is the main draw here, but BT has also detailed other features that will be present in the Advanced Digital Home Phone. Digital Voice also comes with our Call Diversion Feature too. If you’re heading out, you can simply divert calls to your mobile and never miss an important conversation.

Can I listen to Alexa music from one handset and use another Alexa built-in handset to make calls using Alexa? Does the Alexa service come with a caller ID? Is the caller ID displayed or does it announce caller name? When using Alexa on your BT Advanced Digital Home Phone handset, you'll need to use a Voice command. You can either ask Alexa to call someone by name or ask Alexa to dial a specific phone number (e.g. Call Mum, or call "020 1234567").

Yes. Your phone is set to ring at volume 3 by default but you can change that and the ringtone it plays.

Then use the right and left navigation buttons to choose a tone that you like and scroll down to Volume and choose whether to increase or decrease it. Does the BT Advanced Digital Home Phone connect to the Smart Hub 2 using DECT or Wi-Fi? If Wi-Fi, does the BT Advanced Digital Home Phone need to connect directly to the Smart Hub 2, or can it be connected via a mesh Wi-Fi system (specifically, Netgear Orbi) that is hardwired to the Smart Hub 2? The reason that I ask is that the telephone is out of DECT range or direct Wi-Fi range of the Smart Hub 2, but is within range of the mesh Wi-Fi. The Alexa feature can only be used on one BT Advanced Digital Home Phone at a time.

We've just been moved from Fibre Voice Access (FVA) to Digital Voice. The move went very smoothly.
