Virgin Media - Phone Line provided over Broadband

mixablemixer

I am in the process of moving to a new house which will have Virgin broadband and landline installed next week. However, I've noticed that the landline is provided over Virgin's broadband. The problem is, I don't know what handsets are out there that support this function and product descriptions on handsets are not helping - I need to get a handset that will support this functionality. Can anyone suggest what to do?

Normal handsets will work with them, don't worry.  

I've got FTTP with talktalk where the phone line is provided over FTTP and my normal handsets work fine.   It uses the same "BT Connector" as seen here https://images.esellerpro.com/2485/I/373/BT-202a.jpg

The only problem with the landline being provided over BB is that if you have a BB outage then you loose the landline as well. VM can fit an emergency line if you ask but if you have a mobile then no problem. It depends upon where you live but over the last 8 years I have only lost BB twice for any length of time, one for 4 hr planned upgrade and about 3 hr following a storm.
