ISDN Switch Off 2027
Upgrade to VoIP with YourComm
The 2027 Switch Off Explained
The UK's Landline Network is Switching Off. Is Your Business Ready?
A major change is happening in UK telecoms. By 2027, the traditional copper phone network, which includes ISDN and PSTN lines, will be switched off completely. This process began in 2020 when new orders for these services were stopped, and the full switch-off is now approaching.
This means any business still relying on this technology will need to upgrade to a modern, digital phone system to keep making and receiving calls. The old network has been in use for a very long time and is now difficult and costly to maintain. It is being replaced with a new, fibre-based network that is perfect for the digital world we live in. We are here to make your transition to this new technology simple and straightforward.

How to Know if You're Affected
Will the Switch Off Affect Your Business?
It is estimated that millions of businesses across the UK are still using ISDN or PSTN lines and will be affected by the switch-off. There is a good chance this includes you if:
- Your phone system was installed more than a few years ago.
- You can make and receive multiple calls at once through traditional phone lines.
- Your phone bill has references to “ISDN” or “analogue lines.”
Telecoms bills can be confusing, and this information is not always easy to find. If you are not sure what kind of system you have, we can help. Our team can quickly review your setup and let you know if you need to take action. The important thing is to start planning now to avoid any disruption to your business.
