#DigitalSwitchover
Last updated:The way we communicate is changing.
Our old telephone lines are being replaced with a digital network. This means a more reliable, future proof service that will support the UK and its residents for years to come. It will affect anything that sends a signal through the old line from personal alarm buttons to old-style home telephones.
This could could include:
- a personal telecare product?
- a lifeline or community alarm?
- a personal alarm button?
- a portable ECG or oxygen monitor?
- a fall alarm or use motion detectors?
- a traditional landline telephone?
Anyone with these services should check if the #DigitalSwitchover will affect them, so their service isn’t disrupted. Find out what you, your family and neighbours need to do to be ready www.gov.uk/guidance/uk-transition-from-analogue-to-digital-landlines
