Let’s be honest—no one likes change. Especially when it involves your phone system. But when your trusty landline starts acting like a relic from the 80s, it’s time to face the music (preferably over crystal-clear VoIP).
So here’s the big news: Openreach is pulling the plug on all PSTN and ISDN services by December 2025. That’s right—no more traditional phone lines. And no, duct-taping your landline to the router won’t help. A stop-sell is already in place, meaning new orders and upgrades are off the table.
📞 Still on a Legacy Line? You Might Be Ghosting the Future.
Waiting until the last minute might work for laundry or birthday cards, but not for your business comms. Once the shutdown hits, that reliable dial tone will be as extinct as dial-up internet.
Instead, now’s the time to embrace modern, internet-based solutions like:
- ✅ VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
- ✅ SOGEA & SOGFast
- ✅ SOADSL & FTTP broadband options
Why VoIP is the Smart (and Surprisingly Funny) Choice:
We get it. “Voice over Internet Protocol” doesn’t exactly scream excitement. But you’d be surprised—VoIP isn’t just smart; it’s also:
🔹 Flexible – Take calls on the go, at your desk, or from the beach (just don’t rub it in during meetings).
🔹 Cost-Effective – Say goodbye to bloated phone bills and hello to streamlined savings.
🔹 Feature-Rich – Call forwarding, voicemail-to-email, hold music (or even hold comedy—your choice).
🔹 Future-Proof – So your comms won’t collapse when the clock strikes 2025.
🧠 Procrastinate Later, Communicate Smarter Now
By migrating early, you’ll avoid the panic party everyone else will be throwing come Q4 2025. You’ll gain a scalable, robust communication solution designed for your modern, mobile, maybe-even-a-little-chaotic business needs.
