Landline Switchover in Twickenham

Twickenham and Whitton have many long-established residents, and for some the landline is still the main way family and friends get in touch. Adult children often book us to make sure a parent's phone and alarm will keep working after the switch. Older houses sometimes have extension wiring that will no longer be used, so we make sure there's a working phone where it matters.

Problems we fix

  • A letter from your phone provider about Digital Voice or digital landlines
  • Not sure whether your phone or cordless handsets will still work
  • A parent who relies on their landline or a personal alarm
  • Worried the phone won't work in a power cut
  • Only want a landline, not broadband
  • The phone stopped working after the switchover

What's included

  • A check of every handset, extension and phone socket in the home
  • Phones connected to the router and calls tested in and out
  • A check of personal or telecare alarms, coordinated with the alarm provider
  • A plan for power cuts, including asking your provider about a battery backup unit
  • Help registering on your provider's Priority Services Register if it applies
  • Nuisance call blocking set up where your provider offers it
  • Simple written notes, and a summary for family if you booked for a parent

Landline Switchover Help in Twickenham: FAQs

Yes. We'll confirm with you that the alarm provider and the phone provider both know the alarm uses the landline, then test that the alarm still connects once the line has moved. If anything doesn't work, we help you get it resolved with the provider.

The old copper phone network is due to finish switching off by 31 January 2027, and providers are moving customers in stages before then. Your provider should write to you before your line is moved.

Usually not. Most phones keep working once they're plugged into the router or a digital phone adapter. Some older or unusual handsets need replacing, which we check on the visit.
