The digital switchover is happening. BT’s infrastructure company, Openreach, plan to switch all UK phone lines from analogue to digital transmission by 31st January 2027 (this date was originally the end of 2025). For many households this means changing the copper phone line to a fibre optic one, but copper lines are being switched too. At the same time, the mobile network is being expanded and it is planned that 99% of the population will have good mobile reception by the time the switchover is complete. If you have a care alarm that plugs in to your phone line, you should take extra care. Not sure if it affects you? Take the following 3 steps (as shown on this flyer) to protect yourself.
