Using Cordless Phone with Singnet

[BoneStock]

Hi,

 

I just bought a installed a new cordless phone in my home and it seems to be interferring with my internet connection. The moment the cordless phone is picked up to make or receive a call, my singnet connection is disconnected.

 

I have 3 phone sockets at home:

socket 1 : normal analog phone with an ADSL filter

socket 2 : normal analog phone, ADSL modem and ADSL filter

socket 3 : cordless DECT phone w/o ADSL filter

 

I was previously using another cordless phone at socket 3 but it didnt give any problems at all. Both the old and new cordless phone don't work if an ADSL fllter is installed on socket 3.

 

My current cordless phone is a Siemens DECT phone.

 

I will appreciate if anyone can advise me here.

 

Do I need to install some kind of special ADSL filter to be used with a DECT phone?

 

thanks very much!

I think Singnet recommend using not more than 3 devices on the same line as your singnet, so i think it is still ok. I is sharing 2 dect phones with my singnet. Not much of a problem. Although sometimes the line got d/c-ed, but it is really not often...

yes...you are right. I digged out all the filters I have in my store room 2 prolinks and 6 black coloured ones w/o brand. Only the 2 prolinks work with the DECT phone. Those black filters only worked with my normal analog phones.

i've always connect 3 phones in my home...so far no prob

Good that you make it work. I got my filter from Singtel shop few years ago... it is 'singtel brand'. works fine for me.
