Looking for advice on a landline phone with two different ring tones.

Can anyone help with a little advice?

I would like to add an 0800 number to my standard landline.

I would like a landline phone with two different ring tones.

I would like to be able to set the phone up so that it rings with ring tone No.1 for my incoming 0800 number calls and ring tone No. 2 for all other incoming calls.

Is this possible? Is there a phone on the market that can achieve this?

The ring cadence is defined by the exchange and not the 'phone.

What has been available in the past was a BT product called "Call Sign" where a second PSTN number is added to the line and has a different ring cadence. An 0800 number would be directed to the new PSTN number and thus have a different tring tone.

Whether "Call Sign" is available for business lines - you will need to find out.

I would guess that you may have to move to a BT Business account.

0845 numbers
