Getting started

How do I activate WightFibre voicemail? 

Residential customers can access or activate voicemail by dialling 1571 from their WightFibre phone and following the prompts.

How do I set up my home phone?

Plug your phone into the port marked TEL on the back of your router. You don’t need a phone socket on the wall.

Will my WightFibre phone work during a power cut? 

A fibre phone depends on powered broadband equipment. A power cut or network outage can stop all calls.

Keep a charged mobile available where there is coverage. If you depend on a landline and cannot use a mobile at home, contact WightFibre in advance to discuss support and whether a battery backup solution is suitable. 

A battery backup for your home equipment does not guarantee service during a network outage. If an alarm or care device uses your phone line, check compatibility and backup arrangements with its provider.
