The DECT phones base station will work with a 'digital voice ' adapter (as will almost all old phones, but possibly not mechanical bell sets), however not all 'digital' functions will then work. For example, whilst you will be able to xfr incoming calls from a new digital voice phone to any adapter that is in use, you cannot transfer a call that is answered by an adapter connected phone to to another digital voice phone or conventional phone. You will be able xfr from DECT phone to DECT phone.

Apparently newer DECT phones should be able to connect (wirelessly) directly to the BT Hub (with the Hub working as a DECT Base station), but whether all makes will interconnect seamlessly???

However try to explain the restrictions and methods to SWMBO!
