If you have an analogue telephone system (that gives you a dial tone), then it's time to upgrade to a VoIP telephony Service.
In 2025 the analogue phone service will be switched off.
In its place, cloud telephony offers you a better service at less cost.
Your 'telephone exchange' is now hosted on the internet, all you need is an Internet connection to access your calls. That could be through your Desktop in the office, your broadband service at home, and your mobile data connection or wi-fi on your mobile phone.
With VoIP you have one telephone number you can use at the office, at home, and on your mobile.And retain access to all the telephony services you are used to.
If you work from home or at a remote site, and need to transfer a call to a colleague, you simply choose transfer, dial the number, announce the call, and click complete transfer. Wherever you are, wherever your colleagues are is irrelevant.
In preparation for the analogue service switch off, BT will stop selling analogue lines at the end of 2023.That will get people's attention, and as you can imagine, by the time we get closer to the end of this year, more organisations are going to want to move to VoIP.
BT has a limited resource to service the demand for porting numbers to the digital platform; our very strong advice is to get on the path to cloud telephony now.Leaving it until later will put you at the centre of an almighty bun fight for resources.
