phone from UPC - wireless option?

LinoRichie · 22-12-2009 03:02PM #1

Hi, hope someone can advise - apologies if this is a basic question.

I now get phone, internet and TV from UPC. The broadband is wireless i.e. i have a wireless router (if that's what it's called - the Netgear thing ??) that plugs into the modem and i can then pick up broadband anywhere in the house.

However, the phone base / cradle has to plug directly into the modem (although the phone itself is obviously portable). Is it possible to get a phone base that is wireless also i.e. can work through the wireless router so that the phone base can be in the kitchen or a bedroom or whatever?

Also, is it possible to set it up for more than one phone?

I have tried asking UPC about this but it can be quite painful talking to them sometimes.

Most Dect phone bases can register extra phones, which would I think be your best bet.

There are some modems which have a Dect base built in, but that would mean buying another modem.

Extra Dect phone/s would be my suggestion, after determining that the base you have will register more than one phone .... should do.

regards.

If you have a SIP-capable mobile phone (i.e. most smartphones) you're probably already good to go, otherwise you probably want something along the lines of http://www.amazon.co.uk/CISCO-SMALL-BUSINESS-WIRELESS-G-PHONE/dp/B00261NRDS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1261530335&sr=8-3-fkmr1
