What’s Happening?

The UK’s traditional PSTN and ISDN networks are being retired, with the final switch-off scheduled for January 2027. Stop-sell is already in place, meaning you can’t order new analogue lines. Businesses that delay migration risk service outages and costly last-minute fixes.

Why It Matters to Your Business

If you still rely on copper-based services; phone lines, alarm systems, payment terminals or lift lines you could face:

• Service disruption when legacy lines are cut.
• Number porting delays as thousands of firms rush to migrate.
• Unexpected costs for emergency upgrades.

Your 90-Day Migration Plan

1. Audit All Lines
   Identify every dependency: voice, alarms, EPOS, fax-to-email, door entry systems.
2. Check Connectivity
   Confirm full-fibre availability or choose the best alternative. Add 4G/5G failover for resilience.
3. Move Telephony to Cloud
   Map features from your PBX to a hosted solution.
4. Test & Train
   Validate alarm diallers, document fallback procedures and train staff.
5. Budget Smart
