Digital Landlines Switchover

Cumbria Neighbourhood Watch Association have been working with BT for some time to inform people in Cumbria about the Digital Landline Switchover. We have visited Libraries around the County to explain how the switchover will impact on people as well as the support available etc. Below is a brief outline, however, more information is available at  www.bt.com/about/all-ip/connected-together 

Although we have visited Libraries so far, I am more than happy to attend any local meeting/gathering etc to provide the detail we have been giving todate. If you have a group/gathering/meeting that you feel would benefit from this information, please let me know and dates when they are expecting to take place.

Landlines are changing and the UK’s telephone network is going digital. These changes will affect everyone who has a landline they’d like to keep using. What’s happening? The analogue network that most home phones work on today is no longer fit for purpose and can't keep up with the demands of modern life. The outdated network will be switched off for all landline providers in January 2027. BT’s new home phone service is called Digital Voice. 

The landline is not going away, and for most, the switch is simple. No one will be left disconnected. 

To make things easier, BT has put together a Conversation Starter Pack – a straightforward, practical guide designed to help you talk with a friend or family member about what the switch means and how you can support them
