Virgin Media and old phones
Does anyone know what the current draw limits / parameters for connecting telephone instruments to a Virgin hub are? The Virgin hub uses VoIP.from the hub to the exchange.
I have a compact (tele 776) that works fine. However, my "Button A Button B" payphone which was working perfectly on an analogue BT land line will not work with the Virgin hub.
I get dial tone initially but if its put on hook I can't get dial tone again.
I do hear the dial tone extremely quietly even when its on hook (with my finger) that eventually changes to the equipment engaged tone.
I have to do a hard disconnect of the line to start the dial tone again.
I have a feeling even when on-hook it is signalling the hub as off-hook?
Maybe there is a mod I can do to stop this?
