DECT base station for Sky fibre

[scrw.]

Just moved to Sky fibre and their IP telephony is different to BT, the Sky hub has the old style 631A BT phone socket in the back to plug into & doesn't use rj45. Now I have a load of newish DECT phones I had with BT fibre that ran off a Yealink base station connected via rj45 into the old BT hub.

Question is it there a DECT base station out there with the old BT 631A socket connectivity rather than rj45? Google is failing me, and currently I am phoneless as not got any old 631A socket phones in the house :-/

Would these help to adapt your phones?

Afraid not, my current DECT base station only talks in IP via RJ45, I need a DECT base station that talks to the old style phone lines. Seems Sky have developed their fibre hub so that it is compatible with old phones, which will be fine for a lot of people, but no good if you are coming from BT fibre

Should add, looking to retain my Yealink phones, so a base station they can talk to

I’d suggest you had a voip setup, hence the rj45 to dect connection. Obviously you’d need to confirm the dect model number to confirm.

In this case you can get a voip line from Andrews & Arnold at around £1.60 per month, otherwise you will need to buy a dect base station but unless you get a compatible one you may find some of the extra features don’t work as expected.

The question is do you need to retain the existing number or not?
