Sky + and a Blueface (VOIP) phone service

Benedict XVI

I am moving to a new house in the coming weeks.
I want to get SKY + but not the phone line.
I will have wireless broadband.
If I get Blueface or any other VoIP service will that satisfy Sky's need for a phone line with Sky + ?

Anyone been down this road before ?

Im also wondering the same.

i want multiroom and am on Magnet...there are 3 ethernetports in all rooms.

is it possible to have 2-3 ata devices? or will the phone line have to be split from one location?

You have to use the SAME ATA/phone line split or multiroom will fail.

Blueface will not satisfy Sky. However if you don't tell them, it may or maynot work. A Wireless service with phone from same ISP, or ideally built in is more likely to work.

yeah just spoke to tech guy from magnet....its easy to do... at the smarthomes panel split the phone line three ways. and plug into required ports on hub.

I didnt realise that all ethernetports take normal phone cable too .

so defo dont need phone cabling installed.

also had to have them change the signal from digital to analog

An idea why not, it's a phone for Christ sake ?

Because its VOIP and so far I've not heard of it working successfully with blue face but I'm hoping somebody will prove me wrong
