The Public Switch Telephone Network Will Close in 2025: How This Affects Your Business

Attention businesses and home phone users.

Big changes are coming to how we connect! The traditional phone lines you're used to are being retired. This means a shift to newer technologies by December 2025. Read on to learn more about the PSTN and ISDN switch-off and what you need to do to prepare.

• What is happening: The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) are being phased out completely by December 2025.
• Why the switch-off: These legacy technologies are outdated and incapable of supporting the demands of modern communication needs like high-speed internet and data transfer.
• Who is affected: This switch-off will impact both residential and business users who rely on PSTN and ISDN for phone lines and other services like fax, alarms, and credit card machines.

Key factors you should consider:

- Timeline: The process began in 2020 with a stop-sell of new connections in September 2023. Existing users can continue using their services until the complete switch-off in December 2025.

- Impact: Businesses especially need to plan for a smooth transition by upgrading their phone systems to be compatible with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. Assessing their internet connection stability to ensure it can support VoIP calls.
