Be Ready for the BT Copper Switch-Off
The End of Copper Landlines in the UK
BT (British Telecom) is switching off its copper landline network across the UK. By January 2027, the traditional home phone system will no longer work.
​
If you’ve heard about the BT landline ending or BT’s new service called “Digital Voice”, this is what it means: instead of plugging into the wall, your home phone will connect to your internet router. This system is called VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol).
What Is the BT Switch-Off / Digital Voice?
-
BT copper lines will be phased out nationwide by 2027.
-
The BT landline ending means standard phones will stop working.
-
BT calls its new system Digital Voice, which runs over broadband.
-
You don’t have to stay with BT – you can choose another provider.
