If your business still relies on a traditional landline, it is time to start preparing. The UK’s entire phone network is changing, and every business will be affected. The switch from the old copper network to digital phone services is well underway, and the deadline for change is getting closer.
The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) has been in place for decades, but it is now outdated and costly to maintain. Telecom providers across the UK are retiring the system by January 2027, which means that all traditional landlines will eventually stop working. This is not just about your main office phone. Any equipment connected to a phone line such as card payment machines, door entry systems, alarms or lift phones will also be affected.
What Comes Next
All calls are moving to digital technology known as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). Instead of travelling through copper wires, your calls will go through your internet connection. This move to Cloud Telephony will modernise business communication across the UK.
For most businesses, this will mean faster, clearer calls and far more flexibility. With a Virtual Landline, your business number can work from anywhere with an internet connection, giving you freedom to answer calls on your desk phone, computer or mobile. It is also a more cost-effective way to manage communications across multiple locations or remote teams.
