I've experienced the issue of speaking to ten different people and getting ten different answers to try and solve my predicament.
A fibre installation was done to our home. It works like a charm. Because of logistics, the router, Huawei B525, has been located in the car port. The signal to the house is very good. Frogfoot did the installation and Mweb is the service provider.
Recently I received a sms from Telkom that they are phasing out fixed line copper services and upgrading to wireless technology at no cost to me. I went to their offices and they informed me that I would have to terminate my Mweb connection, which I'm loathe to do. They also told me that I would have to relinquish the @mweb.co.za email address.
I phoned Mweb and I was told that Mweb can provide a phone connection but that it is connected to the router. As the router is in the car port, I don't want to run out to the car port every time the phone rings!
The existing telephone setup is a three handset Panasonic digital cordless phone.
Is there any way that this can be linked to the router and that I can still retain the landline number?
