How our Care Home telephone line only service worksNo Openreach line is needed for our 1Phone telephone line-only service setup, which is a quick Plug & Play solution. All you need to do is connect the router to a power socket and connect your handset to the router, no additional steps are required. Our service utilizes a special data SIM card housed within the 1Phone router, compatible with the four main mobile networks: Vodafone, O2, EE, and Three. This SIM card enables the router to make and receive calls using the data 4G and 5G networks - NOT through the traditional mobile signal. (There is NO internet access, this is a phone only service). The router will select the network with the strongest signal available and should the primary network experience downtime, the router seamlessly switches to the next available mobile network, ensuring continuous coverage. Before dispatching the 1Phone router and SIM card, we pre-program them with all your telephone line information. For customer safety, call barring is automatically applied to international, premium rate numbers, personal numbers, and UK special services numbers starting with 084 and 087. Calls to mobile phones are an opt-in service, and the removal of certain call barring may require a deposit. Note that barring of premium numbers cannot be removed. ∆ - Additionally, our opt-in 24/7 monitoring system checks in with the router/SIM every 60/120 minutes to ensure they respond. If there is no response after four attempts (2 hours), an alert will be raised against your account/router. We promptly notify the designated point of contact or end user via email if the router is not detected online.

The BT Everyday Cordless phone handset offer at £13.98 ∞ Special Offer Terms and Conditions
Frenquently asked questions about digital voice linesCan I use my old telephone on the 1Phone service? Yes, most standard telephone will work with the new 1PHONE lines, even ones with built-in call blockers. So, there is no need to get a special phone. However we cannot guarantee this 100%. At the time of writing the Trucall blockers are not compatible with any 1PHONE or digital lines. If you have or are looking to use one of these units you will need to contact them directly for an update on when these will be compatible for use on digital lines. We have also had customers that have experienced One Way audio, this was also found to be an incompatible phone. If I have the 1PHONE service, will I still need to move to a digital line later? NO, the 1Phone service is a digital service already, and NOT reliant on any Openreach lines or services, so you will not need to move at any point. So you are completely covered for the Copper switch off in 2025, so don't worry. Can I keep my telephone number? Yes, we can move 99% of telephone numbers - Most people have had their telephone number for years, and for a lot of seniors and pensioners keeping their telephone number is a must. So regardless of if you're moving home, to a different part of the country, or even a different part of the world, we have the technology so you will always be able to take your current phone number with you. However, if your telephone number/line has been switched off before we move the number you only have 31 days from when the line/number was switched off to move it to a new provider. Passing this date you the number has been lost. What's the best location for the 1PHONE router? We would recommend placing the router near or in a window space to give the best reception. However don't worry too much about this as the router has access to all for mobile networks, so it will pick what's best for the location at the time. Due to the way out voice service works the router does not need to be in the best signal location, and the voice serce needs next to no signal/data to work. So place in the most covenant place, and then check if you can make and receive calls OK. Sometimes an inch to the left or right can make a huge difference in signal. Can I move the 1PHONE router to a different location? - (999 services) Yes, you can relocate the 1PHONE router almost anywhere you like. However, it's your responsibility to notify us of any permanent location movement of the router, as we have to update the 999 emergency services database with the new address. If you do not let us know, the emergency services will attend the last known address the 1PHONE router was registered to. Can I had Broadband to the service? Not at this time, the service is a telephone service only. We may offer a broadband service at a later date. If you need a broadband service we can check with Openreach to see if there is any infrastructure listed at the address and room. But putting lines and broadband into Care Homes can be a tricky and lengthy job as most Care Homes are not prepared or do not have the infrastructure for a new fixed Digital line service. Please note - The WiFi is switched off. However even if you switch this on there will be no access to the Internet. Will my telephone extensions still work with a 1PHONE line? No, the 1PHONE service is not a copper based service, thus no copper lines or extensions will work. However, we strongly recommend using a BT 4600 cordless phone kit or a new digital phone as this will get around the problem. How to Redial last number and Call back the last person who called you As this is a SIM based service and not an Openreach based service, the ring back and last person that called services are slightly different in their access. If these are used regularly we recommend setting a speed dial up on the handset.
Do I need to contact my current provider? No need, we'll send them a transfer request for your telephone number. Once we have placed your order, your current provider may send you a letter or email just to let you know that your telephone number is transferring to us. Once the transfer has been completed, your old provider should send a final bill to you for anything outstanding. You will receive the 1PHONE router well before the telephone number moves over. This will also come with a temporary number, so you can start to make calls right away. On the move date the temporary number will be replaced with your old copper number automatically. How long will it take to switch over my telephone number? Switching your current telephone number on to the 1PHONE network usually takes about 10/15 working days, depending on your old provider responding to our request to move the telephone number. We'll normally let you know what day your number will move and be live within 48 hours of accepting your order. Once we have the port date for your telephone number a ou will receive the 1PHONE router well before the telephone number moves over. This will also come with a temporary number, so you can start to make calls right away. On the move date the temporary number will be replaced with your old copper number automatically. Are the calls as good as a cooper-based line? Yes, and unlike copper-based lines you will not suffer from noisy or crackly lines any more, it's just not possible. The calls are as good as making a mobile phone call. You will also need to dial the full telephone number, just like making a mobile phone call from your mobile. Can I move my telephone number to different provider? Yes, however, the provider you are moving to will be responsible for this process. Customers that have ported their telephone number out of the Simple Telecoms to another provider will not be eligible for a free of charge port back to Simple Telecoms until the term of 36 months has passed from the original port out date, irrespective of any current or future offers being advertised in the press or Simple Telecoms websites. Should you wish to move your telephone number back to us within the 36-month period, there would be a cost to do so. Also, the telephone number must remain live and paid up to the point of the transfer to move the number. Can I lift the barring of the International and Premium rate numbers? To safeguard all our customers, call barring for International and Premium rate numbers starting 09 and some 08 numbers will be applied automatically to the telephone line. Barring calls to mobile phones is an opt-in service. Please contact customer services to opt in the mobile barring service free of charge. Please note - Due to Ofcom directive classifying certain (not all) 08 numbers as premium rate, you will still be unable to call some 08 numbers as they are now classed as Premium rate numbers, so please check with your equipment or Care Alarm provider, as we bar calls to all premium rate numbers to safeguard our customers, and this premium rate barring cannot be removed, unlike the international call barring, which can be removed. Ofcom directive classifying certain 08 numbers as premium rate in these charge bands, SC011, SC13, SC014, SC047, SC075, SC092, SC093. What do I do if I have a fault with the telephone service? There is very littel to go wrong, and routers are extremely reliable. And It's extremely unlikely all four mobile networks would go down at the same time, plus SIM cards don't just go wrong by themselves. If you suspect you have a problem the first thing would be to reboot the router, and check the battery backup is switched on before contacting our support desk. This is NOT an Openreach service, thus no engineer can be sent, and even if they could, there is nothing to check other than if the router is online, which we can do from our call centres. Almost 99% of problems are related to the power being removed from the router by a third party, or the router moved to a very poor signal location. In the event of a power cut how can I still use the service? You would need to purchase a battery backup for both the router and any mains powered telephone handsets you are using. If you would like us to provide you with a cost for a backup unit please just let us know. How will moving to a 1PHONE based service affect my other telephone devices at? You will need to connect any telephone devices that are currently plugged into the telephone wall socket in the home, into a telephone socket on the router This could include care alarms, Telecare devices, Intruder alarms, etc. You should contact your device service provider if you are concerned to make sure that they will continue to work with an internet-based service. Ofcom makes this very clear. It's the device manufacturer's responsibility to make sure their equipment works with digital lines, not the underlying provider of the voice service. Can I have a paper bill each month? Yes, as a paper bill can be sent each month at a small extra cost per month, and will be sent to your address. We also have a full online billing system, so a family member can keep an eye on things as well for you. Fault Care Levels and response times - (Please take the time to read) There is very littel to go wrong, and routers are extremely reliable. And It's extremely unlikely all four mobile networks would go down at the same time, plus SIM cards don't just go wrong by themselves. If you suspect you have a problem the first thing would be to reboot the router, and check the battery backup is switched on before contacting our support desk. This is NOT an Openreach service, thus no engineer can be sent, and even if they could, there is nothing to check other than if the router is online, which we can do from our call centres. Almost 99% of problems are related to the power being removed from the router by a third party. Other most common problems we have found are Batteries in cordless phones - This can give busy tone on both inbound and outbound calls. Change the batteries or remove them for a few minutes and then replace them back in to the handset/s. We recommend rebooting the base station/s as well. Flat batteries - Make sure if you are using a cordless phone that it's fully charged, along with any extra handset connected to the same base station. Faulty extension leads - If you are running an extension lead, plug the telephone directly into the telephone socket on the router to see if you have a dial tone. If you do have a dial tone, replace the extension lead. Ringer switched off - This is easily done, make sure the phone is not switched to silent or the ringer switched off. Telephone unplugged or router switched off - Make sure the telephone is still plugged in to the router, and the router is switched on. 1PHONE Digital Line Basic Care - Included Basic Care is included in all services. Basic care operates during normal working hours. For the reporting of faults, the Simple Telecoms helpdesk is available, 24 hours a day, seven days a week (including UK Public and Bank Holidays). However, with Basic Care Faults we will clear/respond to the fault within 72 working hours of receipt of the fault report, (not including weekends, UK Public and Bank Holidays) excluding any allowable park time. If you have a chronic long-term illness or disability, we would strongly recommend moving to a higher (monthly chargeable) fault repair level if you need a faster response time. It is the end user’s responsibility to make sure they have an adequate care level in place that will offer coverage for faults outside normal working hours and public holidays, should they feel this is needed. Please contact our customer service team for more information. Understanding Multi-Network SIM switching - ( Please read) A Multi-Network SIM will switch networks should the default network be unavailable. This means it will only switch should there be a loss of service or poor signal strength, and NOT a network fault, as the network itself would still be online and available for connection for the SIM. Multi-Network SIM cards cannot detect in network faults or problems. What's in the Box? Package content

Credit Limit and Credit Check When you apply for any telephone or Broadband service contract with us we will perform a hard credit check on the user and the address the service is being provided at. We may also credit check the bill payer if different to the user. This will involve a credit reference agency to confirm your identity/s. They'll also examine your financial records and borrowing history. Using this information provided by the credit-rating agency, which in our case is Creditsafe. We will then make a decision whether to accept you for the contract/service you’ve applied for. This decision is made solely by our credit-checking team based on the information from Creditsafe. A credit check is ONLY performed once a direct Debit has been set up with us, as this is regarded as an acceptance of our terms and conditions, and intent to apply for a service. If your credit rating prevents you from getting a contract from us we may offer a tailored solution for people with bad credit. If your application is accepted a credit limit will be placed on the account for any chargeable calls. This safeguards our customers from running up a large bill. If this credit limit is reached outbound calls will be barred other than 999 freephone and the NHS helplines. However, if you have a Care Alarm this may cease to operate if your credit limit is breached. Call spend Warnings can be set up within our online billing system, and we strongly recommend this is done. Please note.
