Switch on before you’re switched off.

 

You may be wondering why increasing numbers of UK businesses are moving to cloud telephony solutions (also known as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)?  The answer is simple…the ‘BIG SWITCH OFF’ is coming!

 

What’s changing?

In 2017, BT Openreach announced it intention to switch off traditional landlines by 2025. This is commonly referred to as the Public Switch Telephone Network switch off (PSTN switch off) and the Integrated Services Digital Network switch off  (ISDN switch off).

From 2023 businesses won’t be able to order new PSTN or ISDN services at all and by 2025 every phone line in the UK will be digital. This means all calls will be routed over the internet, leaving your existing telephony solution obsolete.

 

What’s the alternative?

Businesses all over the UK are transitioning to VoIP solutions, which use your internet connection to transmit voice calls. This is a much better alternative to traditional landlines and it will be the industry standard for years to come.

While there are many benefits of moving from an analogue phone system to a new VoIP solution, the main benefit is enabling business continuity with a fully integrated communications system – working not in silo but with your other business systems. 

 

Why is VoIP better than traditional landlines?

VoIP solutions offer a range of advantages over traditional landlines, including:

  • Scalable – it grows with your business and adjusts to your needs.
  • Flexible – it doesn’t tie you to a physical location.
  • Cost effective – there are no initial and ongoing maintenance costs.
  • Futureproof – it won’t become obsolete for a long time.
