If you're with BT for your phone service then it's the port on the SmartHub that'll be active. If you're using another ISP then it could either be their router or it could be the port on the ONT.

Great news!
Your address is part of our Ultrafast fibre rollout programme. We'll keep you updated throughout the process as your address progresses through our build plan.
These are the details we have passed on to our technical team to get started.
Not what the engineer told me. I don't have a phone to try though. On the router setup screens the phone option is greyed out and says not configured which is what id expect from what the engineer said.If you're with BT for your phone service then it's the port on the SmartHub that'll be active.

Enter your details into https://www.openreach.com/fibre-broadband/fibre-first#FibrecheckerX and see what it says. I'd take it as a good sign that FTTP is on the way.
From memory, it took about 7 months from when the Openreach fibre checker said that FTTP was on the way until I had it installed.

Openreach stopped offering FVA for new orders after March this is the service that would have connected to the ONT Voice port.

So I’m getting FTTP in a few weeks, I was assuming I’d be able to use the phone port on the modem.
If this isn’t the case then I won’t be able to use the phone part of the package because I won’t be using the supplied SuperHub?
If so being forced to pay for the phone part of it is a bit unfair!
Unless you've made specific arrangements with BT I would expect that your phone service will remain on the current copper pairs.
Not any more, Fibre Voice Access is end of sale, Openreach don't want to be in the business of delivering telephone calls.If you're with BT for your phone service then it's the port on the SmartHub that'll be active.

If your phone line is fed underground then your fibre will be as well, if it's overhead then the fibre will be overhead. If your cable is underground but direct buried rather than ducted (think this is probably relevant for the 1950s-type builds) then I don't know what the approach is.
