Here's one for you...

Ever since I installed broadband the only 'live' receiver is the one that's picked up first.

Before, we could pick up any receiver and if the call was for someone else we could give them a shout and they'd pick up the nearest receiver. Now they have to come to the receiver that first answered.

It's a bit of a nuisance so is there a way round it?
 
I don't have microfilters attached to every phone plug and don't have any problems. I've got a router attached to the first box that the outside bt line connects to. Having said that, I didn't have any problem when I was using a bt modem attached to an inner phone plug.
 
I have filters attached to every phone. Still got the same problem. Could it be 'cos i'm now with Tiscali? (Mind you, they use the BT line.)
 
I too have filters on every phone.Had no problem with previous handsets but this changed when latest phones installed and now same as Maurice. Thankfully there is a sequence of buttons on the phone which allows transfer of calls.

Suggest you check instruction manual for handsets.
