Factory reset your Cloud Voice Express cordless phone

Having problems connecting your Yealink cordless handset to BT Cloud Voice Express? It can happen very rarely – if you’ve tried connecting to Cloud Voice Express before we’d set it up, for example, or if you asked to switch the number (known as ‘porting’) while already using the phone.

If you’ve tried Cloud Voice Express troubleshooting with no success, you may need to factory reset your Yealink cordless phone.
