The Analogue to Digital Switch
Over 1.7 million people use personal alarms and alarm answering services in the UK. The majority of these services rely on the traditional copper wire BT phone lines. These will switch off in 2025 & your alarm will stop working correctly.
Benefits of Digital
What has happened so far?
Phone lines are already being moved to digital, and the switch off will also see Openreach no longer providing new analogue products in 118 exchange areas from this year, effectively accelerating the migration of traditional phone services to digital equivalents.

What do I need to do?
If your current analogue personal alarm relies on the existing BT lines, the analogue to digital telephone transition will affect the services provided to you. Analogue devices will become less reliable & ultimately cease to function. Act now to switch, stay safe and enjoy the benefits of digital. Astraline can help you upgrade your equipment to digital with no service interruption at low cost.
