Digital Landline Services For West Yorkshire
Digital Landlines in West Yorkshire and throughout the UK
A digital landline can function in exactly the same way as your current Landline, it just just through your digital broadband connection instead. With existing Landline rental often charged at around £20 per month, a digital landline can also represent a significant saving.
When does the digital switchover come to West Yorkshire?
Short answer: End of 2026. Longer answer: It doesn't just affect West Yorkshire, this is a nationwide initiative. After September 2023, new PSTN landlines were restricted - all new Landlines are to be digital where possible, provided over your broadband connection. After 2026, the PSTN network is scheduled to be switched off (the digital switchover), meaning if you do not have a digital Landline, your PSTN Landline will stop working.
I'm in West Yorkshire and my broadband provider includes the Landline
Ask them to break down the individual charges. Ask them for a broadband only cost without the landline, Compare with broadband only deals from alternative providers, then you can decide if it makes financial sense as well as common sense to keep your Landline provider separate from your broadband provider. Keeping your Landline separate gives you the freedom to move broadband provider whenever it suits you.
