The product uses DECT Technology, therefore, each handset has a range of up to 50m indoors/300m outdoors from the base station (in ideal conditions). When using Alexa on your BT Advanced Digital Home Phone handset, you'll need to use a Voice command. You can either ask Alexa to call someone by name or ask Alexa to dial a specific phone number (e.g. Call Mum, or call "020 1234567").

Product details

Alexa's integration with the Advanced Digital Home Phone might be giving customers something to think about before deciding to go ahead with the upgrade, as the freedom Alexa is being allowed here could be a point of concern for some customers. However, while Alexa is able to connect to smart devices around the house, it is not a surveillance tool, and its implementation into BT's Advanced Digital Home Phone is entirely at the user's discretion. Does the BT Advanced Digital Home Phone connect to the Smart Hub 2 using DECT or Wi-Fi? If Wi-Fi, does the BT Advanced Digital Home Phone need to connect directly to the Smart Hub 2, or can it be connected via a mesh Wi-Fi system (specifically, Netgear Orbi) that is hardwired to the Smart Hub 2? The reason that I ask is that the telephone is out of DECT range or direct Wi-Fi range of the Smart Hub 2, but is within range of the mesh Wi-Fi.
