Why legacy lines need a review

Lansafe’s original article explained the move from older PSTN and ISDN services towards internet-based calling. It is a useful prompt to identify what is connected to an analogue line, even though its original deadlines should now be treated as historical.

Look beyond desk phones

A line may support an alarm, door-entry system or another device as well as telephone calls. Document those dependencies before arranging a replacement, then check compatibility and connectivity with the relevant providers.

Plan the calling experience

Hosted VoIP can support flexible users, call forwarding and easier changes to the team. The right design depends on broadband, call flows and business continuity needs. Those details matter more than treating migration as a simple handset swap.

This is a concise editorial summary. Read Lansafe’s original published article.
