Lovely to spend some time with the residents of Downham Market on market day last Friday. On this occasion we were joined by Faye from Norfolk County Council's adult social services department, to offer even more help, advice and support to local people.

Thanks to Downham Market Town Council for the gazebo, and look out for more of these events soon!

91% of people in the East of England have now switched their telephone landline to digital voice, but if you're one of the 9% still on an analogue line, it's time to make the switch.

If you don't, BT, and other providers, will start disrupting your broadband internet service to prompt you to make contact with them.

Save yourself the hassle and upgrade your line now. There's no cost to upgrade, and BT are still offering an ultra-fast fibre connection in many areas, free of charge.

Don't delay the switch!

When your landline is switched to digital, you'll need to connect your telephone handset to your router. There is a green port on the back of your router for this, but what if you need your handset in a different room to your router? Or have more than one handset?

The answer is a Digital Voice Adapter. Your phone company should give you one free of charge (if you need one) when your line is switched, but you can also buy them in phone shops for £15-20.

Plug one into an electrical socket near your handset, then plug your handset into the port on the top. Then press the WPS "pair" button on the side, and on your router. This will connect your handset wirelessly to your router.

If you've already switched your telephone landline to digital, you're probably using the same handset as before, but maybe you've noticed your answerphone has stopped working?

If so, the reason is that all digital lines have a built-in voicemail service, 1571, enabled for free. Previously this would have been a paid service.

If 1571 is set to answer your phone after 4 rings, but your handset is set to answer after 6, the handset won't take the message - 1571 will take it first. You can alter the number of rings in the menu settings of 1571, or your handset, to choose which takes your messages.

Let us know in the comments if you've noticed anything else different about your digital line!
