Keep your analogue phone line past the January 2027 copper switch off
What is the copper switch off?
In January 2027 the UK's traditional analogue telephone network (the PSTN) is being switched off. Most telecoms providers are using this deadline to force businesses onto VoIP or "digital voice" services — which means new equipment, new routers, and in many cases problems for anything in your business that still relies on an ordinary analogue phone line.
We can keep your copper phone line running until 2030
UK Wholesale is different. If your business wants to keep its telephone service exactly the way it is today, we can keep your copper line running past the January 2027 switch off and through to 2030. Same phone number, same wiring, same handsets, same way of working — no forced migration, no engineer visits, and no surprises.
Who needs to keep an analogue line?
Keeping copper matters if your business relies on equipment designed for an analogue line, for example:
• Fire, intruder and lift alarms with analogue diallers
• Older card payment terminals (PDQ machines)
• Fax machines and franking machines
• Door entry systems and telecare devices
• Any critical service where you simply do not want change before you are ready
And when you are ready to move on…
There is no cliff edge with us. When it suits your business — not the industry's timetable — we can move you to SoGEA broadband, FTTP full fibre or SIP / VoIP telephony, keeping your numbers throughout.
