Using two hub phones

Can anyone tell me if I can use two hub phones and use both phones simultaneously and talk to the one person, so there will be three phones used, the two hub phones and the other persons phones. The reason I ask is because at the minute with the dect phones we have me and my wife can both talk to my mother at the same time. Thanks for your help.

No, the hub phones will not work like that as if you make a call on hub phone 1 and then switch on hub phone 2 by doing this you will get dialtone on the second phone and not just switch into hubphone 1s call.
It is an actual feature of the hubphones to make multiple simultaneous calls, but in your situation this is not a lot of help.
You could just plug a standard cordless phone into the back of the hub that has multiple handsets, in that situation it would work just how you want.

  • Is there any way to switch between using two different phones?

    I know when phones have SIM cards (like with ATT), you can use two different phones by simply moving the SIM card from one phone to the other and ATT is none the wiser.
    Is there any way to do that sort of thing with Verizon?
    I currently have an iPhone 5 but would like to start playing around with Android (I'm a gadget nut).  So, assuming I find an unlocked Android phone, is there any way to bounce back and forth between using different phones (obviously only one at a time)?

    So, the SIM card contains all the info necessary for the new phone to ring when called, etc?
    yes, assuming the phones use the same size SIM card (otherwise, you'll need an adapter or a new SIM card; the cards are free at your local Corporate Verizon store).

  • Using hub phone without BT

    Hi All,
    I recently left BT to go to another supplier for BB and phone line.
    Since the switch last week i have still been able to use my hub phone as a landline but the date and time have reset to 12am/year 2000.  I have tried to login to the hub to try and get an update but the page wont load...possible because i'm no longer a customer? Is there another way?
    I also seem to still have a BT wireless connection...i thought everything would be deactivated when i left BT?
    Im just a bit confused with all this!

    It works as a land line because that is what it is now remember when it was a hubphone you could select to use your land line by dialling 5 all that has now happened is it defaults to land line as you no longer have a bt internet connection as to the wireless part do you mean FON or as a wireless network around your home if the latter then a wireless network works on its own with out an internet connection

  • Anytime call plan and hub phone?

    I have been a BT customer for almost a year now, and have upgraded to anytime call plan, and i use 2 hub phones.
    I use the hub phones just like landlines, i make and recieve calls all the time wether computer is on or not.
    I am just wondering now, will my anytime UK free call plan prices still count, or will i be charged the minute rate for using hub phones?
    Appreciate any info

    Two possibilities to consider.
    Assuming she doesn't have one already, you could get your daughter a basic unlocked mobile phone for less than £20. Then you can get a SIM-only deal from a supermarket (think beef lasagne) for a tenner a month for 500 minutes of calls and 5000 texts. You'll probably need to stress that it's 500 mins and 5000 texts a month, not a day.
    You could spend a one-off £30 on the recently-reduced BT6500; looks like a bargain right now. If gentle persuasion doesn't work you could then block calls to mobiles.

  • Cannot get video calls to work on two 9971 phones.

    we are using two 9971 phones, both have the cameras enabled, and the preview video button works, but we do not get video on any calls.
    camera has been enabled in the Enterprise Phone parameter.
    CUCM 7.1.5.1
    so, we should be fine for service pack level.  anyone have any ideas?  both phones are set to "auto transmit" video.

    Ok, now you'll need to do a few things for real-life:
    Adjust the per-call bandwidth (region) and total bandwidth (location) on CUCM. The table below will help you calculate what values to plug into the fields.
    Note, there are system-wide inter-region default values under Service Parameters. Set that first and then set the fewer one-offs on the regions/locations individually.
    The 9900 series phones support several different video resolutions per the data sheet on Table 6.
    Bandwidth consumption for each of the supported resolutions is not well documented; however, the CSF-based clients release notes actually mention it on Table 11 provide a table. Note that CSF may not support the exact same list of resolutions so use this only as a guideline.
    Do not forget to update your QoS configuration. Be careful not to undersize the video queue; this traffic is bursty unlike voice.

  • 1250% price increase on Hub phone calls to New Zea...

    In October 2010, a 44-minute call to NZ using the Hub phone cost £0.78 (ca. 1.8p/min)
    In July 2013, a 16-minute call cost £0.40 (ca. 2.4p/min)
    In Dec 2013, a 31-minute call cost £9.56 (ca. 30p/min)
    I don't recall BT telling me that using the Hub phone would suddenly increase by about 1250%. I've not changed any package or recontracted, and just pick up the hub phone from our HH 1.5, and use it as I always have for the past decade or so.
    I am puzzled as to how I missed this massive price rise. Can anyone explain please?

    If the BBT fails, yes, calls automatically fall back to the landline number. You can only tell by listening to the different dial-tone.
    Fallback is implemented to ensure you nearly always have a working line. Its not 100% foolproof, if there is a routing issue on the BBT line, but then you usually get no dial tone.
    Thanks Keith. If you use the phone memory to make calls, as I do, then you don't hear the dial tone! And even if you do hear it, and don't use the phone often, you are not going to be alert to a different dial tone.
    Certainly not 100% fool-proof. I've just been rooting around on the BT site and found nothing in big red letters to warn that if your BTTalk line becomes deactivated you will incur charges that are 17 times higher

  • Charges for BT Home Hub Phone - I am totally confu...

    We have Option 3 Broadband package.
    We thought we were getting free calls............
    We use our hub phone (which operates from the addtional phone number) and have now discovered we are being changed for calls during the day?? The call chanrges are also really high. The minimum charge being 26p - even when a call is not answered.
    I don't understand. If we only get the free calls from the landline - what is the point of the hub phone????
    When we moved to this package it was to get rid of an additional phone line we had - we were told this would be the best option and we would get free calls.
    What am I missing here????? Getting no joy phoning BT - HELP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    ok, im no expert but i will try to help.
    With hub calls there are a number of packages to choose from.  Evening and weekends i believe come free with broadband option 3.  Free daytime calls are an additional cost of £6ish pm.
    If you havent taken out the free daytime hub calls, you will be getting charged an extortionate amount per call.
    I have had a similar issue in that i requested the free daytime calls package, and BT even acknowlege this as they listened back to the phone call.  However they inform me that i was told to ring back the next day to confirm the order, which they state i didnt do.  Im convinced i did.
    The upshot is that i have been charged £900 for daytime calls, that would have cost me £30 if they had put my order through when i asked :-(.
    Now, because i didnt inform them within one biling period (i didnt check my online bill or bank statement for some months) they have refused to reimburse me, even though i requested the free daytime calls.
    The best thing you can do is ask the India call centre to put you through to the complaints section in the UK.  If they say they cant do that, ask for the terminations department!!  Once you get through to the complaints dept...
    a) raise a complaint
    b) when they turn you down, speak to a complaints manager
    c)  when they turn you down, ask for it to be escalated further
    that is the point i am at now. 
    As a BT Customer of over 20 years, i am very disappointed at the complete lack of customer service/understanding.  Im going to leave BT as a result of this, i cant face one more minute on the phone to India!
    Good luck, you will most definetely need it!

  • Did I really need this hub phone (possible return)

    Newbie here.
    New to BT as well.
    Happy with the service so far but feel I have a hub phone that wasn't explained to me properly when I ordered it. I thought it was a 'normal' landline phone that just plugged into the hub.
    I've recently been told that it has a different number to my landline(which I don't have) and is VOIP only.
    If I already have a landline package, why wasn't I told this phone would be superflous to my needs and can I return it for a refund?
    All advice gratefully received - especially if I'm talking rubbish!

    Hello
    Have a read of this
    http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=27273&s_cid=con_FURL_...  all the call charges are there...
    I dont use the hub phone myself that much,instead i download BT softphone
    http://www2.bt.com/static/fvc/softphone_installIS.exe   to all my PC's
    and use this headset
    http://www.play.com/HOME/HOME/6-/Search.html?searchstring=Logitech+H330+USB+Headset
    a very lazy way of making calls,if your lying down
    you can get headset cheaper than the one i got

    hi i have recently got a hub phone 2.1 and i have bt infinity with a 2.0 hub , i cannot get the phone to register to the hub. ? any one help !!
    the btbroabband account is not yet acivated but i was hoping to just use the hub phone for the land line calls only, i have the phone lead connected correctly and tried reseting the hub and still no luck registering the hub phone.
    Any ideas

    Hello Shelly,
    Broadband Talk (BBTalk) has been deprecated by BT. They no longer support it or supply it to new or upgrading customers.
    However, you may or may not be able to get it to work, as there are some people using BBTalk with Infinity on Infinity HH2.0s. They (and the instructions for getting it working) are here:

  • Using BT hub just for landline phone use?

    I have a BT hub all connected to BT Broadband, but also have acquired a spare hub and phone. Does anyone know if i can plug this 2nd hub into another phone socket and just use it as a phone hub (landline as opposed to internet phone) and not broadband, because they are great phones and very clear. Or will this **bleep** up my broadband connection through my first hub? Thanks.

    You cannot connect two modems/hubs to the same line, but you can connect more phones to your existing hub, and set hub phones to answer landline calls.

  • Can I use two apple id's on my phone.

    I would like to use two apple id's on my phone. My husband and I like to share our music, (we have always had one apple id).
    I recently created a new apple id for myself so we could facetime to eachother AND I am doing preparations for when we get our macbook pro. Which we will also share. I'm assuming we will use our own apple id's for the imessage portion on our upcoming macbook and will have different user accounts.
    But can I set certain things on my phone to use different apple id's.

    Technically, "yes", but you will need to sign in each time you want to use the other one.

  • I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring.

    I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.

    Hi,
    There are two easy fixes to this.
    One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
    Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can i use two iclouds in two phones

    Hi all
    I m using two iphones which is 4s and 5c. Can I setup two iclouds in both sets separetly insted of using one icloud in two phones.

    To migrate one of your phones along with a copy of your existing iCloud data to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.
