Is there a simple way to plug he phone into the laptop and then into the router in much the same way as with an old fashioned landline and modem?
Hi DrGraham
No sorry the service does not function in that manner, however you can use our BT office communicator (BTOC), this is a program you download onto your computer/laptop and use this similar to Skype.
You can import you're contacts from your mail client and then use BTOC to make your calls.
To use this service you would need an active broadband voice account or a Hosted Voip account.
To download the software you would need to log into your selfcare voice account, with you're broadband voice details using the link below.

If you do not have our voice services and would like to know more you can visit our voip infomation page below.
Hope this helps
