So you can continue to have phones plugged into your various jackpoints round the house . Or, as my brother does, he has 3 phones, one is the master and the other 2 are handsets, so don't actually plug into anything except power . The main one is plugged into his modem . |

| 1446361 | 2018-02-16 07:48:00 | We are currently with Spark VDSL and still have normal Landline all over copper so the answer is yes you can. If you go to Fibre it gets a bit more tricky. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1446362 | 2018-02-16 09:57:00 | We have fibre, with a 2degrees Fritzbox modem. One portable phone is plugged into the modem, and a cable from the modem to the old jackpoint in the wall that originally supplied that phone from the copper network, feeds another portable and on old fixed phone. I had some trouble getting the connections right, as perusing my post on 4 December 2017 and replies will show. This modem also provides answer machine and call waiting. | Brucem (8688) | ||
| 1446363 | 2018-02-16 19:54:00 | Yes you can, and maybe the installers will help you out and maybe they won't and you'll have to organise the wiring yourself. you won't need splitters afterwards either. Slightly confusing is your statement of being wired with 2 splitters, normally you either only have 1 master splitter (and that should be the case with VDSL) or you have a plug in splitter at each jackpoint in use for phone service. You never need two wired splitters. Anyway, the splitters come out, the copper line gets disconnected, and the new VOIP line from the Vodafone hardware gets wired into the jackpoints across the same point the copper line used to be. It can back feed from any jackpoint if it's wired correctly and is easily done if there's a jackpoint near the fibre gear. Maybe talk to Vodafone and see if they'll agree to do the wiring as part of the install. |
