Mr Coeur de Lion Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 Um... when we went into Darty, we were told certain types of phone don't work with the Livebox and that the phone needs to be digital (I think). Think your best bet would be to go into an FT shop and source the correct phone. Perhaps take the phone you've been trying into FT and confirm it is compatible first before looking further.

Breton Networks Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 By default 'Telephonie par ADSL' is turned off, you need to log into the LiveBox & change the setting, it's on the opening page.A standard analogue telephone should work.

Will Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 How long have you had the system? It can take several days from when you first plug the phone into the box for the service to be activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 For what it's worth, I only have an ordinary bog standard phone and I think it took 48 hours for the service to be activated after I changed my phone package on the FT site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 We have a wanadoo livebox and all 4 of my lights are permenantly lit. Our internet phone works fine on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I use a hands free phone, but I too could not tell you whether it is digital or not, plugged into my live box with the special connector which came with the livebox. However it says on orange web site that you will know if your phone is compatible if there is a blip when you press a button on the handset.At this link there is also a list of compatible phones should you wish to buy anotherhttp://www.orange.fr/bin/frame2.cgi?u=http://assistance.orange.fr/1292.phpThe light should be constant when the phone is not in use but blink when it is being used.You still need your live box plugged into an adsl filter in the phone socket too.Do you know how to get into your account on the orange web site? you could check there to make sure everything is activated.

Shane Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 And just found this on the orange.co.uk web site regarding activation of phone with livebox.switch your Livebox off and on again at the power socket. After a minute the phone symbol on top of your Livebox will light up and you'll be ready to make calls over broadbandsame procedure here I woul imagine, our box is switched off every night so I would not have noticed any different.
