What is VoIP?
Voice over Internet Protocol carries phone calls over a broadband connection instead of a traditional copper phone service. It can provide clear calls, flexible voicemail and the option to use a home number on more than one device.
For your home
The UK’s traditional public switched telephone network is due to retire in January 2027. Move to digital calling carefully and keep your familiar home number where possible.

Openreach says the traditional network is due to retire in January 2027, although individual providers are moving customers sooner. There is no need to panic, but alarms, telecare devices and other equipment connected to the old line should be identified before the change.
Many numbers can be transferred to a VoIP provider. The old service should not be cancelled until the number-transfer process has been checked and arranged.
We can review your broadband, select compatible equipment, arrange number transfer, configure handsets and calling apps, and make sure everyone understands how the new service works.
