Problem connecting 2 phones to the same BT line
I have had a BT2700 and a Mybelle 360 connected successfully for some
time. Now I wish to have a Bluetooth enabled phone so have purchased a Amplidect 400BT to replace the Mybelle. I seems they do not like each other. when both are connected the BT 2700 refuses to answer calls, or indeed ring. what, if anything, am I doing wrong? I thought one solution may be to purchase additional handsets for the Amplidect, however I cannot find them anywhere! :-(( |

If pairs are transposed or shorted, the Amplidect may be running on 2 wires, but the BT2700 need the third bell wire for ringing. Try separate master sockets/ADSL filters on the BT2700 to recreate the 3rd wire ringing signal. Owain |

The one(s) not working with their intended base, might be rather restricted in their facilities, but should do the basic functions. |

Thank you all for your useful suggestions. I have now rewired the sockets connecting the bell wire. It now works great deal better. I can answer calls on both the BT and the Amplidect phones, also make calls. The one remaining problem is that if I answer on the BT phone the Amplidect stays connected and ringing. |

That also suggests a cord/wiring fault. With some phones they will sense a DC voltage on the ringing wire and treat it as a ringing signal. Check the wiring is not reversed 2345 - 5432 anywhere, bearing in mind some extension sockets are numbered the opposite way to BT sockets (which are traditionally numbered the opposite way to the plug!). It's also possible if you have two master sockets reversed that the out-of-service resistor on one might be bleeding enough voltage through to the ring wire on the other for this to happen. Owain |
