Connecting a phone to Virgin broadband

[steveo]

The tosser installer didn't tell me that the broadband box didn't have a phone socket. Do I have to pay for an extension to be installed now or is there a way of connecting a phone to the router?

Did you have cable broadband installed or the adsl type?

If the former they should have put in a new phone socket in the wall alongside where the cable comes in.

If the latter your exisiting socket should work, but you'll need a splitter.

You can't plug a phone into the router I'm afraid.

Unless you use a net phone.
