What is the ISDN Switch Off?
By 2025, BT will switch off all ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) lines and shift them to SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). Since 1986, we’ve relied on ISDN phone lines to make and answer calls. Now, we’ll use SIP to call, video and share messages over the internet.
In addition to the ISDN network, the PSTN network (analogue lines) will be switched off at the same time. Many broadband services reliant on this technology will need to be upgraded before the switch off.
The move to a digital future is bright. But it brings a lot of disruption – something you don’t want for your business or customers. Here’s where a cloud phone system comes in.
Why make the move to a cloud phone system?
