The copper cut-off - Reminders
The copper-off was announced as long ago as 2017, but it still needs publicity. The subject has been covered in this loop; see the link below. A summary of important points is below.
1. If your landline phone is connected by the old copper cables it will be disconnected.
2. If you have a router, you may be able to plug your phone in to a socket on the back. You may need an adapter. If your router does not have a phone socket, you will have to get a new one.
3. If you do not have broadband, you will have to get it so that you can continue to use your phone. You may be able to get a special broadband device for this purpose, but you cannot use it to connect to the Internet.
4. If there is a power cut you will be unable to use your phone. If your circumstances warrant it, you may be able to get a free backup battery which will last an hour.
5. In the event of a power cut, if you are a vulnerable person, you must have a charged mobile phone.
6. If you, or someone you know, have a telecare alarm or sensor, you should check that it will continue to work.
7. If your burglar alarm uses your landline you need to contact the provider.
