DECT Phones

Hi,

OK - here's one for you all!

The GF's parents want a cordless phone.

Currently - here's the situation:

- Main phone line is half-way up the stairs - there is no mains electric socket nearby
- There's an ADSL splitter going into the BT socket and off of that is the ADSL modem and main phone.

Now - the question is...

The GF's parents want to move the phone to the living room - so the new DECT phone will be near a electrical socket (for charging etc).

This would involve running a telephone extension cable from the ADSL splitter into the living room.

So - will the ADSL still work (I assume so - nothing is changing there), and would the DECT "Master" phone work ok even though it's running through and extension?

Thanks for the advice!

My DECT base station works fine on an extension socket - it's just an ordinary phone as far as the BT line is concerned. Don't know about ADSL, but can't see any reason it would have problems.

Don't forget, you still need a 'real' phone somewhere as DECT phones won't work in a power cut.

Not sure if this is relevent to this situation but:

You can have the base plugged into the powerpoint and the telephone line.

And then you can have anouther phone somewhere else not near a phone socket, but plugged into power.

This is true of my digital phones anyway..
