Phone Switch Over to Digital in January 2027

The UK’s telephone network is changing.

Between now and January 2027 most telephone providers will be moving their customers from old analogue landlines over to new upgraded landline services using digital technology. This means services that rely on the old landline system such as home phones, telecare and health devices will need to be compatible.

Here is a good summary page from Argyll and Bute Council

Below are two documents which should provide all the information you need, but if you have problems accessing it, or have concerns do let the community council know.
