BT Broadband Talk tips
Once you’ve activated your service, you’ll notice that
BT Broadband Talk has a high-pitched dial tone. This lets
you know you’re about to make a BT Broadband Talk call.
Like a mobile phone, you’ll need to dial any phone number
in full (i.e. including the area code). This applies to local
numbers, too.
You must leave your BT Home Hub turned on to make
and receive BT Broadband Talk calls. You can, however,
turn your computer off and still use BT Broadband Talk.
You can’t make calls to the operator, non-BT directory
enquiries or dial-up Internet Service Providers using the
BT Broadband Talk service.
To make calls using your normal landline, you should use
the phone, or phones, plugged into a phone socket using
an ADSL filter. You can also make normal landline calls
using a phone connected to your Hub, by dialling 5 before
the rest of the number. You won’t, however, be able to take
advantage of BT Broadband Talk rates when you make calls
using a landline phone.
Please note that BT Broadband Talk doesn’t currently
support number portability, text relay or directory enquiries
for disabled customers.
