Digital Landline Services For Selkirkshire
Digital Landlines in Selkirkshire 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 Selkirkshire?
Short answer: December 2025. Longer answer: It doesn't just affect Selkirkshire, this is a nationwide initiative. After September 2023, no new PSTN landlines will be sold - all new Landlines must be digital over your broadband connection. After December 2025, 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 Selkirkshire 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, 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.
