Ready for the Digital Switchover
By 2025, all analogue phone lines will be switched off, meaning landline phones will need to be compatible with digital routers and hubs.

Swissvoice have confirmed that all phones are suitable for a digital network after testing at BT and Talk Talk labs.
How Many Additional Handsets Can I Add?
The network can support a total of four handsets, meaning that with this product you can purchase and connect two additional handsets for added convenience. All the handsets are amplified, have dedicated call blocker keys and come with their own charging base.
How Does the Number Blocker Feature Work?
This feature has been designed to help stop spam and scam calls and can be used on either of the handsets included. The dedicated "Call Block" button allows you to prevent a number from being able to call you again and the phones memory is capable of storing up to 100 blocked numbers.
