🚨 What Is 'THE BIG' Switch-Off' (also referred to as the PSTN Switch-Off)? The PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) is the old-school telephone system that’s been around for decades. It uses copper wires to carry voice calls. But like floppy disks and VHS tapes, it’s now outdated. So, the UK is switching it off — permanently — in January 2027. 🧠 Why Is It Happening? 3 reasons: Old Technology: Copper lines are expensive to maintain and prone to faults. Digital Future: Everything is moving to internet-based (IP) systems — faster, more reliable, and more flexible. Better Services: VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) offers clearer calls, remote working features, and integrates with modern tech. 📞 What Does this Affect? Landline phones (especially in homes and small businesses) Fax machines Alarm systems Payment terminals Lift emergency phones Healthcare devices (like fall alarms) If they rely on copper lines, they’ll stop working unless upgraded. ✅ What Needs to Be Done? Switch to digital phone services (like VoIP) Check all connected devices — alarms, card machines, etc, and upgrade where required Upgrade broadband to the latest available 🕒 Timeline Time is ticking......and you have to act before January 2027 to stay connected 💡 Stay Connected with AMA We're connectivity specialists, here to help you and your business to ahead of the game, so if you have any questions, concerns, or need some advice, please do get in touch, and we're happy to help. 📞 0203 794 8840 ✉️ hi@amacomms.co.uk
