BT Advanced Digital Home Phone with Alexa Built-In Works Only With BT Smart Hub 2

Product Information

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. 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 😃 Choose whether you want to change the ringtone of an internal or external call and scroll to that option. It’s not just about the handset features. Digital Voice also gives you crystal clear HD calling. This means incredible sound quality on your home phone – almost as if the person you’re speaking to is in the room with you. If you are on a call, you can also change the volume, by pressing the navigation button up or down.

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).

Can I listen to Alexa music from one handset and use another Alexa built-in handset to make calls using Alexa? BT today unveiled the new Advanced Digital Home Phone with Alexa built-in, which will be available free to customers taking BT’s Broadband and Digital Voice service, offering crystal-clear HD calling. 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. Alexa is the main draw here, but BT has also detailed other features that will be present in the Advanced Digital Home Phone.

The digital home phone also comes with a large colour screen, outstanding battery life and works with BT’s Digital Voice service to provide crystal-clear HD calling, Call Diversion, Multi Call and Call Protect We currently have a BT Premium Phone. I see that BT is offering a free BT Digital Voice Adapter or a BT Advanced Digital Home Phone with Alexa built-in.

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.

You’ll need a device with internet access like a smartphone or tablet to set up Alexa.
