UK businesses to replace landlines by 2027
UK businesses must move away from standard landline phones by 2027.
This is because in January 2027, the UK’s landline phone network is being switched off, and traditional landlines will cease to function.
All UK businesses that want to maintain deskphone systems as part of their operations, will therefore need to replace traditional landline systems with an over-internet, digital phone line and VoIP phone systems like DHV Lite.
What is hosted voice?
Hosted voice is a form of Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) telephony – meaning that it operates using the internet (a ‘digital phone line’), rather than using traditional copper phonelines.
The ‘hosted’ part of hosted voice means that the telephony solution is hosted off-site. This means minimal costs and minimal maintenance for your business, as a third-party provider handles the hardware, software, setup and maintenance of the solution.
So you can carry on business as usual, with a powered-up version of your former business telephony.
Is setup of a digital phone line difficult?
There’s no painful, slow setup and it’s easy to use. It’s a plug-and-play solution, ready to use straight out of the box. Simply download the app or soft client to the device(s) of your choice and start making and receiving calls immediately. You can even maintain your traditional deskphone by using an Analogy Telephone Adapter (ATA) device to connect it to DHV Lite. And that’s it, you’re good to go.
What features does DHV Lite offer that my existent landline phone system doesn’t?
DHV Lite is a digital phone line which operates over your existing internet connection, and includes: the following features:
| Access to emergency services | Activity log | Auto attendant |
| Availability | Call barring | Call management |
| Call waiting | Calling Line Identification (CLI) presentation | Desktop client |
| Faults, escalation, and reporting | Inbound / outbound calls | Manage, import, and share contacts |
| Mobile app | Numbering and porting | Physical handset |
| Provisioning and user management | Reporting features | Service Level Agreement |
| Simultaneous ringing | Voicemail | Web browser |
