OT - Digital phones
We currently have two phones at work, one in the workshop and one in the office. Dad has gone and brought another phone that he thought he could just
connect to the same line as the phone in the workshop but as they are digital phones, they dont seem to like working through a splitter. Does anyone
know if there is a way to run two digital phones on one line?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

digital phones 'usually' only use at most 4 wires and most run on cat 5 which is 8 wires, so its easily split.
Lindy sell a splitter if i recall correctly

You may be able to add more phones to the base station if they're DECT they should support GAP. Not all base stations support it though and the
handsets have to support being paried to a different base but most should.

You need to clarify what you mean by 'digital'. Do you mean wired IP phones, i.e. connected using Cat 5 cable, or Digital wireless (DECT)
phones?
