We hope you find it interesting reading and will help toward making it happen in whatever way you can.
The UK's Telephone Network is Going Digital
By January 2027, the old analogue network will be switched off and replaced by new digital landlines which will work using broadband. It is important that we help support members of our community, especially the elderly and more vulnerable, who may not be aware that change is coming. Many older people may not have broadband and could be confused if their telecomms provider tries to change their contract. Those who use a telecare device such as personal alarms, pendant alarms, lifeline devices and home care monitoring systems may find that their equipment is not compatible with the new digital technology. Users should be encouraged to make contact with their landline provider for support as soon as possible.
