PSTN Switch Off FAQs
What is PSTN?
PSTN is the copper cable based phone network which has been used in the UK since 1876. The system has served well but is being cut-off due to high maintenance costs and the introduction of more efficient solutions such as VoIP.
When is PSTN being switched off?
The cut-off date set by BT is January 2027 meaning if you are still on PSTN lines, your phone system won’t work after that date. BT actively advise people to look into switching to an internet based phone system prior to the switch to make sure everything runs smoothly.
What's replacing PSTN?
The replacement for PSTN phone lines moving forward is Internet Protocol services. These phone services use internet connections to transfer calls rather than physical wires.
What's better - VoIP or PTSN?
VoIP has been selected as the forward facing method of communication. Not only is VoIP more versatile and accessible, it’s much cheaper than PSTN. Having to uphold less hardware and infrastructure, VoIP is a more cost-effective solution.
Can I keep my old number when switching phone providers?
Yes! The transition is fast and simple. All numbers are transferred within hours to limit the affects to business.
