BT Broadband Talk

[MadGamer]

Ok, so we have taken this as part of the Deal that we are getting, trouble is I don't really understand it. All I know is we have been given a second telephone number and a password, but other than that Im at a loss. We are getting the latest homehub with the phone as well. Could somebody kindly explain what this is about as I don't understand

Wayne did you look at the BT site for information? Basically the second number is a VOIP number.

BT Broadband Talk
Broadband Talk is like an extra phone line with its own phone number – it just sends calls using your BT Broadband connection instead of your existing phone line. Just plug your BT Hub Phone or a touchtone phone into your BT Home Hub or router and away you go. You get unlimited UK* Evening & Weekend calls included in your BT Total Broadband package at no extra cost – or you can upgrade to get Anytime calls instead. Whichever plan you choose Broadband Talk also gives you cheap calls to mobiles or abroad.
