The PSTN Switch-Off: What It Means for You.

You may have heard the term “PSTN switch-off” recently and wondered what it’s all about. Let’s break down what this change means and how it might affect you and how Love VoIP can help.

What is the PSTN ?

PSTN stands for Public Switched Telephone Network. It’s the old-school, copper-wire-based infrastructure that has powered traditional landline phone services for over a century. Along with phone calls, the PSTN also supports things like fax machines and old-style broadband connections.

Why is the “switch-off” happening?

The PSTN is outdated, expensive to maintain, and becoming increasingly difficult to support as technology advances. That’s why telecom providers worldwide are moving towards a fully digital future. In the UK, the PSTN is set to be completely switched off in December 2025.

What will replace the PSTN?

The PSTN is being replaced by VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology. VoIP uses your internet connection to make and receive phone calls. It offers a whole host of benefits, such as crystal-clear calls, improved features, and cost savings.

How does this affect me?

If you currently use a landline phone or an older style internet connection, you’ll need to transition to newer solutions before the PSTN switchover. It’s a good idea to start thinking about this now.

The PSTN switch-off marks a significant shift in how we communicate. While change can be a little daunting, the move to VoIP promises a more reliable, flexible, and feature-rich phone experience.
