You may have heard about the PSTN Switch-Off, but what does it actually mean for your organisation?
By the end of January 2027, the UK's traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and ISDN services will be retired. This means all organisations that still rely on traditional phone lines will need to move to a digital alternative.
The good news? You have options.
Many organisations begin by researching VoIP and Cloud Telephony. While the terms are often used interchangeably, there is an important difference.
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is simply the technology that allows calls to be made over the internet.
Cloud Telephony uses VoIP technology but delivers a complete business phone system from the cloud, with advanced features, flexibility and resilience built in.
Why organisations are choosing Cloud Telephony
✓ Work from anywhere using desk phones, mobiles or laptops
✓ Reduce costs by removing expensive on-site phone systems
✓ Easily add users, sites and new features
✓ Improve resilience with built-in disaster recovery
✓ Access advanced features such as call recording, voicemail to email and auto attendants
✓ Stay up to date without costly upgrades
What should you do next?
Not every organisation needs to make the same move.
Some may be able to upgrade their existing telephony environment. Others may benefit from moving fully to a cloud-based solution.
That's why we recommend starting with a telephony review.
Our team can assess your current setup, explain your options and help you plan for the PSTN Switch-Off in a way that suits your organisation, budget and future requirements.
