Analogue Telephone Systems Are Expiring

How to prepare?  

We are happy to offer free advice to identify what analogue lines you have, if any, and to identify what you are using them for. Once we know this information, we can offer advice on what new digital telephone services you should be considering. As with all advice we give, we don’t charge for our time, and there is no obligation to buy a digital service from ourselves. So if you need a helping hand, just get in touch. 

Do remember, you can move your telephone number to a new digital service, so you won’t lose your well-known number. 

Are there any benefits? 

Your simple telephone lines will continue to work in a very similar to your traditional analogue home telephone line. However, for businesses moving from ISDNs to our VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), there are many benefits that mean most business owners are not waiting until the switch off. Here are a few of the benefits our system can provide over a traditional office telephone system: 

1. Your telephone system will no longer be physically bound to the telephone line coming into your office. This means that you will be able to make and receive calls from anywhere in the world that has an active internet connection. Perfect for working from home or multiple offices. 
2. Each phone will have its own dedicated line. This means you can all be on the phone at the same time. No waiting for a ‘line’ to become available. 
3. Easily adapt the phone system to your businesses needs. Halfway through your contract and you need to add call recording, mobile phone apps or additional users? No problem! With our VoIP telephone system, we can turn these features on and off as you need them without the need for expensive hardware or upgrades. 
4. Keep your telephone number, even if you move outside of the area. It was always very difficult to take your Bristol number with you to your new Bath office. With our VoIP system, you can take your number with you anywhere in the world. Interesting, you can also add numbers. So if you need a London number, we can add that and make it ring in your Bristol office. 

Summary 

This should be seen as an exciting change. Many businesses have already made the change purely for the benefits a modern telephone system offers. For those of you that still have an analogue line or system, now is the time to have a little help reviewing the options in anticipation of the upcoming changes.
