Are you ready for the Big Switch Off in 2025?

The Big Switch Off is all about BT's move to phase out its ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) and PSTN (Public Switch Telephone Network) services. From 2023 onwards, businesses and consumers will no longer have access to the outdated technologies and by the end of 2025, they'll be completely gone.

This change will signal the end of analogue phone lines in the UK, as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology takes its place. By taking advantage of the strong and dependable internet access that's now accessible across much of Britain, cheaper and clearer calls are made possible.

Around 2.4 million businesses in the UK have yet to prepare for the switch off of ISDN lines and remain reliant on them for communications. To guarantee their systems are future proofed, it is essential that these companies take the necessary steps now.

Opting for a cloud-based telephone system will give your workforce the freedom to work from anywhere, and yield considerable savings on contracts and phone line rental costs. Now is the time to start getting ready for the 2025 Big Switch Off, in order to avoid any unfortunate consequences for your companies or expensive last-minute alternatives! Are you ready?
