Digital Switchover for UK’s Telephone Network
You may have heard that the UK’s telephone network is being upgraded, which means that landline services are changing. People can still have a landline in their homes, but the technology that powers it will be different.
For most, switching over will be straightforward, but some people may need new equipment or support to make the changes.
Whilst people need to contact their telephone provider for more information on when this change will affect them, Age UK has created an information sheet to help you understand the change. To view the sheet, click here.
