BT Switch-Off Deadline: January 2027

Your phone lines are being switched off. We'll sort it.

BT is shutting down the traditional phone network. Every UK business needs to move to a modern system. We handle the whole migration so you don't have to think about it.

The BT switch-off is real, and most businesses aren't ready

BT is shutting down the PSTN and ISDN networks that power traditional business phone lines. If you're still on a BT landline, your phones will stop working.

We migrate you to a modern internet-based phone system that works with your existing phones. Same number, same setup, better service, lower cost.

Most of our customers save 40-60% compared to their old BT line rental.

Why Port Phones?

"I started this company because I saw businesses paying thousands a year for phone support that barely existed. After the initial setup, most providers just send invoices. I thought: what if someone actually cared about keeping your phones running, charged fairly, and didn't lock you into a long contract?"

We use the same enterprise-grade phone platform trusted by thousands of businesses worldwide. The difference is how we look after you.

Common questions

Everything you need to know about the switch.

BT is shutting down the old copper phone network (PSTN) that has powered UK landlines for decades. All traditional phone lines, ISDN lines, and services that depend on them will stop working by January 2027. Every business using a BT landline needs to move to an internet-based phone system (VoIP) before then.
Yes. We port (transfer) your existing phone numbers from BT to your new system. Your clients, suppliers, and letterheads all stay the same. The porting process typically takes 10-30 business days and we handle the entire process.
Probably not. If you already have IP phones (the kind that plug into your network with an Ethernet cable), they'll almost certainly work with our system. If you're still using old analogue phones connected to a wall socket, those will need replacing. We'll tell you exactly what you need during the free audit.
From signing up to going live, typically 2-4 weeks. We set up your new system and test it alongside your existing phones first, so there's no disruption. The actual switchover happens on a quiet day and takes a few hours. We're on call for the first week after.
On our Premium plan, we monitor your system proactively and often fix issues before you notice. If you do have a problem, Basic customers get a response within one business day, and Premium customers get same-day support. For critical issues like a total outage, we respond within hours regardless of your plan.
After the initial 12-month term, you can cancel with 30 days notice. No penalties, no questions. We'll even help you port your numbers to your next provider. We keep customers by being good, not by trapping them in contracts.
Both plans include the full phone system setup, number porting, and all features. The difference is support: Basic gives you email support with next-business-day response. Premium adds phone support, same-day response, and proactive monitoring of your system. Most offices that depend heavily on their phones choose Premium.
Usually not. A modern business broadband connection handles VoIP calls without any issues. As a rough guide, each simultaneous call uses about 100Kbps, so even a basic 30Mbps connection supports hundreds of calls. We check your connection quality during the audit and will let you know if there are any concerns.
