The mistake here is to assume that such handsets are just like regular phones.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> A lot of different handsets have been sold alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> Cloud Voice, and we haven&#8217;t been able to confirm if they all work in the same crucial way (likely). So it&#8217;s wise to check before parting with them.<\/div>\n<p>Unlike regular dumb phone handsets, those on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s Cloud Voice platform &#8211; and other IP phone platforms &#8211; are often designed to &#8220;<em>work out-of-the-box<\/em>.&#8221; In the case of the two <a href=\"https:\/\/btbusiness.custhelp.com\/euf\/assets\/cloud_voice\/pdf\/Yealink_W60_IP_Dect_Phone.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Yealink W60P DECT IP<\/strong><\/a> phones, they come pre-registered to Yealink&#8217;s cloud-based management services, which is something that some owners haven&#8217;t realised.<\/p>\n<p>According to Chris, &#8220;<em>BT have set these phones up to autoconfigure using Yealink&#8217;s cloud-based management services, this means even if factory reset and flashed with new firmware, they call home to Yealink with their MAC address, where they retrieve their configuration settings, reboot and then are automatically logged into someone&#8217;s BT Voice account. The phone is then able to make and receive calls with someone else\u2019s telephone number<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A quick look at BT&#8217;s website, FAQs and T&amp;Cs suggests that this behaviour isn&#8217;t being made clear to people. Indeed, there are no stickers on the box or anything in the T&amp;Cs that would forbid reselling the hardware, or with clear warnings that the device is locked to the customer&#8217;s account and number. Suffice to say, it would be all too easy for customers to think they can simply be sold off, when in fact doing so may expose your account.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>A Spokesperson for BT told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We use industry standards in order for Cloud Voice to work out-of-the-box and deliver the best customer experience possible. In the case that a supplied device is no longer used for the service that it was intended for, the customer must remove the device from the BT service via the self-serve Digital Portal or inform their BT service team.<\/p>\n<p>Our terms and conditions do state that the customer is responsible for the proper use of purchased equipment and they must take the necessary steps to ensure their devices and account details are kept confidential, secure and not made available to unauthorised persons.<\/p>\n<p>We do recognise however that the steps to disassociate a device from the service could be better set out in our customer communications, and we will look to explore this internally and make improvements where necessary.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On the one hand, it&#8217;s easy to understand why operators would be seeking to make such systems as easy as possible to setup and use out of the box. But at the same time, we&#8217;re surprised that some basic customer checks aren&#8217;t first being performed in order to prevent use by unauthorised individuals (e.g. requesting details that only the original owner would know).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>With a bit of network knowledge and packet capture, it is possible to reuse these devices. By blocking the IP addresses used to dial into Yealink&#8217;s servers followed by factory reset (possible by powering up using the single button on the base station to reset it, the only option as the UI password is changed by BT), it will reboot, fail to reach Yealink and so just behaves like any Yealink bought from a shop. So, these devices aren\u2019t locked to BT, they work independently, just that they always want to fetch the configuration settings from BT and override anything else set<\/em>,&#8221; added Chris.<\/p>\n<p>BT&#8217;s Cloud Voice service is by no means the only such VoIP style platform to work in this way (many of them do), and they&#8217;ll only become more common as IP-based phone services start to increasingly replace traditional handsets over the next few years. But ordinary consumers, such as those who, until now, have had no previous experienced IP phones, may be unaware of caveats like this one and how to deal with them.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice to say, don&#8217;t just assume that a factory reset is all you need to do, sometimes extra steps may be required to fully disassociate your account from the device first before selling or returning it to prevent the risk of abuse (assuming resale of kit is allowed by your broadband ISP).<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> We weren&#8217;t able to test BT&#8217;s consumer focused &#8216;Digital Voice&#8217; service to see if the same issue applies.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Businesses that decide to sell their unwanted BT Cloud Voice handsets on eBay need to take extra care because some models, such as the Yealink W60P phones, may retain the prior customer&#8217;s account credentials.
