VOIP system

Anyone with experience of moving from existing cooper based line to VOIP with Talktalk.

What is involved and what are the costs??

No costs as such, other than switching to a Full Fibre service. I had some trouble getting it activated, but fine since. Bear in mind VoIP is currently not available on other than an Openreach connection.

Thanks for the update

Did you have to dispose your old landline handsets?

No. As long as they are of modern vintage they just plug in to an adapter, rather than the old phone socket. I have a DECT multi set, so the base unit is connected and the wireless extensions work as before.
