UK Analogue Phone Switch-off

The UK Analogue Phone Switch-off marks the end of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) — the copper-wire landline infrastructure that has carried British voice calls for over a century. By January 31, 2027, BT and Openreach will decommission all analogue telephone lines across the country, migrating millions of UK households and businesses to digital VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services. The transition affects not just traditional landlines but also ISDN connections, ADSL broadband, and critical equipment such as telecare alarms, lift emergency lines, and payment terminals that rely on the old copper network.
