Are BT getting rid of phone lines?

Question

Accepted Answer

Not exactly. If you have both a home phone and broadband, these will continue to come into your house through the same physical line - either copper or fibre. What BT Openreach is doing is turning off the traditional dial tone and routing your calls through your internet connection via your router. So while the physical line stays in place, you won’t be able to make phone calls the old way anymore. With Phonely , you can still keep your existing non-VoIP phone. Using our special adapter, you can easily turn your regular phone into a VoIP-enabled device. Alternatively, you can purchase a brand new, pre-configured VoIP phone directly from us when you sign up for a Phonely account . This way, you can keep using your home phone just like before - without any hassle. For more details about BT’s switch-off and how VoIP works , check out our dedicated blog posts.
