Still using ISDN in your business? Your service will end soon

Still using ISDN in your business? Your service will end soon.

Openreach, the company behind the UK’s legacy BT telephone network have previously announced that all traditional phone and ISDN services will be discontinued in the next few years. With the deadline fast approaching, Openreach has announced some areas such as Sailsbury will have service ended even sooner – with no more ISDN or Analog phone lines available to order as of December 2020.

With over 16 million phone lines needing to be migrated to VOIP over the next five years, the scale of the task is unprecedented. Every business with a legacy PBX will either need to migrate to a new phone system or purchase expensive hardware adapters to convert the traditional ISDN signal into VOIP.
