The BT switch off is coming in 2025; the old copper analogue phone lines are being decommissioned and replaced by digital technology and Internet Protocol (IP) communications such as VoIP and SIP trunking. If your business relies on the old analogue lines, you need to ensure that you’ve switched over to a digital alternative by the time the switchover takes place in 2025.
