Ringing delay

How many phones you can have

Your exchange line provides only a small current to make your telephone ring. Although you may have any number of sockets it is important to limit the number of telephones and other items of apparatus connected to the line by these sockets. This ensures that each telephone will receive enough current to ring.

Every telephone or item of apparatus has a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). In most cases a standard line should provide enough current for two or more telephones or items of apparatus, if the REN’s add up to no more than 4.

DECTfax Plus has a REN of 1. Any telephone provided by BT may be assumed to have a REN of 1 unless otherwise stated on the base. Even where the number of telephones has been limited, there is no guarantee that the different types of telephone on the same line will ring.
