Communications providers in the UK are replacing the technology they use to provide fixed telephone networks (landlines). For most customers, the upgrade is expected to be complete by January 2027.
Telephone lines are being replaced with a digital network. This means a more reliable, future proof service that will support the UK and its residents for years to come.
It will affect anything that sends a signal through the old line from personal alarm buttons to old-style home telephones.
Anyone with these services should check if the #DigitalSwitchover will affect them, so their service isn’t disrupted.
