PSTN Switch-Off in Sutton Coldfield are you ready for 2027?
The old phone network is being switched off by 2027 — and every Sutton Coldfield business on analogue or ISDN lines needs to move to a modern internet-based system before then. We handle the migration — nothing switches until the new line is live —, keeping your numbers. Phones from £5/user/month.
What the switch-off means for Sutton Coldfield businesses.
BT Openreach is retiring the analogue (PSTN) and ISDN network. After the switch-off, anything in your Sutton Coldfield premises relying on those lines — phone systems, but also some alarms, lifts, door entry and card machines — stops working unless it's moved to a digital alternative. Read the national PSTN switch-off guide and our 2027 readiness check.
We work with businesses across Sutton Coldfield — the town centre, the Royal Town, Mere Green, Boldmere and the surrounding business parks — auditing lines, flagging what needs migrating, and moving you to a modern VoIP system — nothing switches until the new line is live —.

Frequently asked questions
What is the PSTN switch-off and how does it affect Sutton Coldfield businesses?
The old analogue and ISDN phone network is being retired by 2027. Sutton Coldfield businesses still on those lines need to move to an internet-based (VoIP) phone system before then, or their phones — and possibly alarms, lifts and card machines — will stop working. We migrate you — nothing switches until the new line is live —.
When do I need to switch in Sutton Coldfield?
The network is being retired by 2027, with services withdrawn before then. The safe approach is to move well ahead of the deadline rather than in the last-minute rush.
Will I keep my number?
Yes — we port your existing numbers and keep your old service live until the new system is proven, so there's no downtime.
How much does a new phone system cost in Sutton Coldfield?
From around £5/user/month for the basic package, £12.99 all-in for full features, with no mid-contract rises. We quote against your needs.
Can you check what my Sutton Coldfield business is running on?
Yes — we audit your lines and tell you plainly what needs migrating, then handle the move end-to-end. Book a free readiness check.
