The national move away from copper landlines to fully digital phone lines is well underway with the full switchover expected by January 2027.
While this might sound like a simple tech upgrade, there is a serious risk for anyone who relies on a traditional careline alarm. Many alarms still use the old phone lines to call for help, and when your area switches to digital, those alarms may stop working.
So if your alarm is plugged into a standard landline, there’s a chance it could fail in an emergency once your line is switched.
Our digital personal alarms don’t rely on a landline - they’re already compatible with the new network and will continue to protect you before, during, and after the switchover.
Whether you’ve heard anything from your phone provider yet or not, preparing early means your alarm will carry on doing what it’s meant to do: keeping you safe.
Our team has created a Digital Switchover page, where you can find all the essential information in one place, what to including what to expect and how we can help you make the switch smoothly.
