Going over to this service from fibre but I cannot connect my "landline" phone. The input on the modem is RJ12(?) but my phone terminates in a BT connecter. Is there any adapter? I can't find one.

Btw the modem is a Deco X58-4G.

RJ12 is common, most ADSL routers etc usually came with one.......

Can I ask why you switched to 4G ? Fibre is far more superior - unless you've moved somewhere without it...

Saves me $20 a month but perhaps I should reconsider.

X50 is not the same as the X58.

X58-4G has a RJ11 at the back for VoLTE landline.

OP can you see if your handset has a removable RJ11 at the base of the handset? That way you could just use the RJ11 to RJ11 that's included in the box.

It's labelled Phone and slightly smaller than the other 2 below it.

Whatever it is, how do I connect to my existing phone connecter?

You need to go RJ11 to RJ11 rather than BT.

Most landline handsets can have the cable replaced to fit.

We hopefully included one in the x58 deco box.

Not worth the saving. Maybe shop around for a different fibre provider. Depends on your usage pattern, though.

I'm now totally confused. There is a cable in the box but it wont't fit the socket in my handset. I want my phone close by me and the modem is the other end of the room. So I need some kind of adapter and cable.

Does the phone have a fixed or removable cable? If removable, what socket on the phone end?

Square, smaller than the RJ11 in the box referred to by an earlier poster.

Why do you need a landline?

How was your land-line setup before when on fibre? Was it integrated wiring? Perhaps request the same for you wireless service. Then you can plug in to any jack-point around the house.
