Check connected devices
Alarms, telecare devices, lift phones, intercoms, payment terminals and some broadband services may rely on PSTN or ISDN. Confirm compatibility with each device supplier before changing a line.
Digital voice and VoIP
Plan phone changes before January 2027.
The UK is moving old PSTN landlines to digital services by January 2027. Dyfed IT can help homes and businesses review phone lines, broadband, power backup and devices that may depend on the old network.
Voice depends on broadband and power
Digital voice normally needs powered broadband equipment. Sites that need emergency, care or business-critical calling should plan backup power or an alternative route.
