Business phones and broadband ready for the copper switch-off
Openreach closes the copper telephone network on 31 January 2027. We move your numbers, alarms and card terminals to digital services before then, and set up hosted phones that let your team answer calls from the office, at home or on the move.
Hosted telephony that lets your team answer from anywhere
Hosted business phones from £12 per person a month, with unlimited UK calls and every feature a busy office relies on.
Your existing numbers retained
We port your current numbers to the new system, so customers continue to call the number they already know.
Calls answered on any device
Incoming calls ring on desk phones, on the mobile app and on laptops, wherever your team is working.
Calls routed to the right person
Opening hours, call menus and hunt groups send every call to the right person, and voicemails arrive by email.
Resilient broadband with mobile backup
Business broadband with a 4G or 5G backup line that takes over automatically if the main connection fails.
Moving every line off copper before 31 January 2027
Telephones are only part of the switch-off. Alarms, card terminals, lift lines and fax lines often rely on copper too, and some need new equipment before the network closes. Our audit identifies every service so nothing is missed.
