Bellman & Symfon Telephone Transmitter + ADSL?


[link to this post]
 
I'm trying to sort out a broadband connection for an elderly lady who is quite deaf. She has a Bellman & Symfon Telephone Transmitter fitted to her main telephone point. This consists of a splitter one half of which is a normal phone line to the telephone receiver. The other port on the splitter links to a device which flashes when someone is calling her on the phone.

Will this equipment still work if I install a BT Home Hub? Does anybody know if this splitter will fit into a microfilter?

TIA. John.

Likely to , though the odd piece of equipment crops up that isnt happy with xDSL.
Which model exactly? http://www.bellman.se/web/page.php?catid=178
If it plugs into a standard socket it should physically plug into a microfilter , though depending on the design of the unit and filter it may make the xDSL socket inaccessible.

Thanks for coming back to me Rogan8.

The fitting looks like it will go into a standard microfilter OK - I was wondering if there was anything about bits of wireless kit like this that would interfere with an ADSL connection.

The piece of kit she has is an out of date model but the nearest one to it is this one

Thanks again. John.

Should be fine, BT has a list of stuff that didn't work with ADSL years ago, and don't recall this being on it.

Thanks Andrew - very helpful as always.

I'll go ahead and get it ordered for her then.

Yeah, I reckon that would be fine, but why not drop the makers a quick email? I've always found Swedish companies really helpful, so I'm sure they'd get straight back to you.
