Why are we talking about this now?
2025 isn't as far away as it seems, it'll soon be upon us, so we want you to have plenty of time to make your choices, without having to rush your decision.
WHO WILL THIS AFFECT?
Putting it simply - everyone! Every UK business (& home) will have to go through this process, if they want to retain their main telephone landline number, without any hitches.
Why are they forcing us to change?
Some of the infrastructure that we currently used was originally laid back in the 19th century, so it's about time we let it rest and moved with the latest tech thats available!
What will be affected, and what to look out for....
in short.....the following WILL be affected:
Analogue TelephoneS
alarm systems
CARD PAYMENT TERMINALS
FAX MACHINES
PLUS THE REAL KICKER IS
BETTER BROADBAND FOR ALL OF US!!!
LETS QUASH THOSE MYTHS....
Here's our TOP 10 'Mythbusters'.
1. "CALLS ARE NOT 'AS GOOD'"
No, they are in-fact
better, HD better!
2. "IT'S LESS RELIABLE"
False, and theres additional functionality to give you more options, such as the mobile app.
3. "IT'll slow me down"
Again False, as we make
sure you have the speeds
to handle the load!
4. "WHY IS IT SO TECHNICAL?"
It won't be with us, as we are
specialists & here to help you through this process.
5. "it'll be more expensive"
In most cases, your overall telecoms bill will reduce, and you'll have more features than you've ever had before!
6. "will i lose my number?"
NO! (we're pretty sure you still want/need it!) so this moves with you, automatically,
so no need to panic!
7. "Is it safe?"
In short, yes, absolutely. Without getting too 'techie' on you, all will be safe and secure, and you're in safe hands here!
8. "it'll be a massive job"
Not for you, as we're here with 40+ years experience,
to make this as pain free and
smooth as physically possible.
9. "WE Cannot be offline for 'days'"
We ensure a smooth, hassle-free transition, ensuring you stay connected at all of the services you need, and minimise any impact this could have on your business,
as we know just how important this is to you!
10. "I'll be CHARGED FOR RECEIVING MY CALLS"
Not with us you won't! Some providers may put a charge in place to receive your phone calls, but we don't! Plus your outbound calls will be included within an unlimited monthly allowance (to UK 01, 02, 03 & 07 destinations), so no more having to guess your bill!
