Business Email form the Core OA Service.
Important Note: The Device cannot make 999, 112

be placed over the GSM network. BT recommends

to cover circumstances such as a loss or poor
coverage of the GSM connection. The ability to make
999 or 112 emergency calls cannot be guaranteed.
Access
1.2
The Service can be accessed via:
(a) GSM (including GPRS); and/or
(b) WiFi,
depending on where the Device is being used and
the access arrangements the Customer has.
1.3
If the Customer accesses the Service
via a WiFi Hotspot that does not use BT
Broadband or BT Openzone then:
(a) broadband access speed;
(b) VoIP voice quality; and
(c) some other service features and
service levels, may be affected.
1.4
Internet connection speeds, bandwidth and
the ability to access certain websites will
vary depending on the access method used
and whether or not the WiFi Hotspot uses
BT Broadband or BT Openzone. BT cannot
be responsible for the websites available
to the user when the access method is not

Hotspot where Internet access is available
and BT VoIP is authorised, BT VoIP will be
enabled and the green BT VoIP icon will be
shown on the Device display home-screen.
Quality of BT VoIP
1.26 BT aims to provide a continuous service,
but the Service may be impaired by
other use of the WiFi Hotspot such as
uploading or downloading by the Device
or by other users of the WiFi Hotspot. The
voice quality of the VoIP call may also be
impaired by the number of users or speed
and contention of the Internet connection.
Use of BT VoIP

each SIM Card. The BT VoIP service can be
used to make international calls whilst in
the UK and outside the UK provided that
the Customer has access to a WiFi Hotspot

on the Device display. It is possible to
ensure the GSM network is not used by
selecting the option of “Broadband Only”
on the VoIP settings. Should a call be made
from outside the UK and the GSM network
is used, this call will be charged on the
Customer’s bill as a GSM call.

on a temporary or permanent basis where
in BT’s reasonable opinion it is necessary
