The move comes as part of an industry-wide shift from analogue to digital landlines, where calls are made over apendants – emergency alarms worn around the neck – are deemed vulnerable because in the case of a power cut, or if the internet fails, the gadgets may stop working.
BT said its revised approach will result in a single switch for the majority of customers – from copper to fibre - with all customers now expected to have moved off the old analogue PSTN by the end of January 2027. It said its priority is still to do this safely and it's working with local authorities, telecare providers and Government organisations to do so.
These are people who don't identify as vulnerable or have additional needs and have not contacted an Alarm Receiving Centre in the last 24 months.For customers who don’t use broadband, which includes landline-only consumer customers, the company said it's working on an interim, dedicated landline service designed to keep these customers connected while moving them off the analogue PSTN.
Customers who are ready and keen to make the switch to a digital landline can contact the telecom giant and do so at any given time.Just under 10million lines still need to move to the new system before BT switches off the old analogue system for good.
