DECT & ADSL

My residential analogue cordless phone is on the way out and I was thinking
of replacing it with a DECT phone.

Are there any compatibility issues with Broadband/ADSL or is it just a
simple replacement

MY ISP is BT Yahoo Broadband if that is a factor in anything.

Thanks,


Sam Salt

No problems here, have a two phone set and no interference experienced.

No problems here with a BT Freestyle 2500 dual-phone setup, but search this
group in the Google search page ... ISTR this topic has come up before about
2 years or so ago:

The main watch-it is to make sure that you have decent quality filters,
especially if you intend to use Caller Line ID. Cheap filters generally stop
this working properly. FYI, I use the following:-

Why should there be..? A DECT phone is no different to any other as far as
the phone line is concerned.

Sorry wrong link

The others were an outrageous £1.04

Do you have a DECT phone and CLID on your line? Those cheap filters normally
prevent such equipment from working properly.

Except it and ADSL use radio frequencies !. I accept they are a long way
apart, but I did have trouble with ADSL buzz on my BT DECT and solved it
with a better filter, one which had 4 inductors instead of just two.
