Telephone and Equipment Considerations
Moving away from a traditional telephone service can affect equipment that currently relies on the telephone line. We can help you identify what needs to be moved or replaced.
Keep your existing telephone number
If you want to keep your existing business telephone number, it can normally be ported to a digital voice service such as PhoneLine+ or a hosted phone system. The number should be ported before the existing telephone service is ceased.
Using your existing telephone
Depending on the equipment and service selected, an existing analogue telephone may be connected to an IP-based voice service using an ATA (Analogue Telephone Adapter). We can check the most appropriate option for your existing equipment.
Business landline call quality
Voice calls can be delivered over the broadband connection using VoIP. A correctly configured broadband and voice service provides businesses with a modern replacement for traditional analogue telephone calls.
Other devices at your premises
Check whether any equipment currently connects to a telephone wall socket. This could include Telecare devices, intruder alarms, fire alarms, payment terminals, lift lines or other specialist equipment. The relevant equipment provider should confirm whether the device supports digital services or requires an alternative connection.
