VoiP on Full Fibre - phone port on Hub Two?

Hi there - just upgraded to Full Fibre, and everything seems fine. Currently contemplating adding Third Party VoIP, and was intrigued to notice the stickered-over Phone Port 'for Digital Voice Customers Only' on the Hub Two. If we go with third party VoIP (e.g. with A&A), can we just plug our existing DECT phone base station (previously on our landline) into this port? Will that work (hence save quite a bit of dosh on buying a new handset/base)? I've used office VoIP systems but am new to the domestic possibilities!

@MisterW thanks! Obviously provided for when it's a BT device and disabled in firmware, then. No probs, just means I have to decide whether VoIP is worth buying the new hardware for

You'd just need an ATA adapter such as a Grandstream HT-812 which you can plug your DECT phone into.
Cost should be under £50.
