rates!
16

www.bt.com/broadbandtalk and go to the
‘what it costs’ section.
You can make outgoing calls using your standard phone line number by dialing 5
and then the number you want to call. After dialing 5 you must wait for a different

The ‘Phone’ icon on the front of your hub will be lit up, a solid green colour and you

your landline number. You will not be able to receive calls to your
TH25/TC28330PE1 Broadband Talk number on the hub handset until
TH25/TC28330PE1 Broadband Talk is active on the hub. Go to www.bt.com/bbv
and follow the on screen instructions. You will need your TH25/TC28330PE1
Broadband Talk number and password handy.

Hi Def calls
Your TH25/TC28330PE1 Hub phone is designed with High Definition Sound (Hi-dS
™) capability.
If somebody using a TH25/TC28330PE1 Hub Phone (or other Hi-dS ™ capable
device) calls someone else using a Hi-dS ™ capable device, then the call will
automatically set itself to the best call quality using the Hi-dS ™ call quality feature.
Hi-dS ™ works automatically, so you don’t need to do anything to enjoy high-quality
sound.
You won’t get Hi Def sound from the phone plugged into the back of the hub though
as this is only available on devices which carry the Hi-Def ™ logo.
Multiple calls
No more hogging the phone….with TH25/TC28330PE1 Broadband Talk you can
make more than one phone call at the same time. You can have 2 calls going on at
the same time via the TH25/TC28330PE1 Hub phone handsets and a third call
using a phone plugged into the socket in the back of the hub.
18
If you also have a videophone or TH25/TC28330PE1 Soft Phone associated with
your TH25/TC28330PE1 Broadband Talk number you can also use them to make
simultaneous calls up to a total of 4 calls across all your TH25 /TC28330PE1
Broadband Talk phones.

phone handsets, a warning: MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CALLS ALREADY

make any more calls. There is also a special busy tone presented if you press the

Call quality
Usual call quality using TH25/TC28330PE1 Broadband Talk should be better than
on a mobile phone, but it can be affected by general congestion on the internet, or
by heavy traffic on the broadband link into your home (e.g. if someone in your home
is playing games online). We cannot, therefore, guarantee call quality.
Call transfers
If there is only a single call in progress on one Hub Phone that call can be
transferred to another Hub Phone. It is not possible to transfer calls between Hub
Phones and the phone plugged into the back of the hub.
Your TH25/TC28330PE1 Broadband Talk bill
Broadband Talk ca n be added onto to your existing phone bill. If you have your
calls itemized any calls you make using TH25/TC28330PE1 Broadband Talk will be
listed in a separate section on your bill. However, you won’t see any charges if you
have the free Evening and We ekend package and only made Broadband Talk calls
to UK landlines between 6.00pm and 6.00am or at weekends. Please note that
you’ll be charged for calls to excluded numbers (mobile,premium rate or
international).

Frequently asked questions:
What happens to service in the event of power
ornetwork failure?
The TH25/TC28330PE1 Broadband Talk service will fail in the event of power or
network failure. In a network failure, however you will not lose service as your
Broadband Talk phone will automatically revert back to your landline. You will know
this because the dial tone will be the normal dial tone instead of the high pitch
Broadband Talk tone, and the phone icon light will not work. If there is no power to
the Hub you won’t be able to make any calls.
What happens when I make emergency calls?
If you make an emergency call to 999 or 112 from your TH25/TC28330PE1
Broadband Talk line, the Hub will automatically use your standard telephone line.
This is a safety measure to ensure the emergency services can identify your
location, if necessary.
23
Emergency Location Information is captured and passed to the Emergency Services
for use in the case of an emergency call being made via the service. The location
information captured is limited to the address of the BT telephone line. Important: if
there’s a power failure, your BT Hub Phone and/or DECT cordless phone will not
work. Alternative arrangements should be made for access to emergency services.
We recommend your primary telephone line is maintained for contacting emergency
services.
Can I take my TH25/TC28330PE1 Broadband Talk
number with me to another provider?
It is not currently possible to transfer your Broadband Talk 056 number to another
provider.
You Hub and Hub phone cannot be used with another provider.
