**Edit, seems I need a different cable with a BT end.*** Does anyone know if I need a 2 wire, or 4 wire cable to use the phone?
I have Plusnet fibre broadband with a Plusnet hub.
The phone line comes in to the house, and then I have a filter plugged directly into the wall socket. A phone cable goes from this filter into the back of the broadband hub.
We have not used a landline for over 10 years, but my wife has found a cool phone, so wants me to make it work.
Question is, how do I connect the phone to the line? The only socket on the filter goes to the broadband hub. Can I just get a splitter to share this line?
Any help would be appreciated....

Use a Micro filter Plug into BT master socket if the BT Master socket has only 1 connection ,

I don’t know what plug there is on this cool phone but if it will plug into your master socket then it will plug into the phone socket on the filter, they are identical.

Are you sure that this is an analogue phone, not a digital one? It sounds like an IP phome to me. They are not interchangeable.
