The PSTN Switch-Off Is Coming

How 4th Platform (Powered by Gamma) keeps your business ahead with Cloud Communications. The UK’s analogue phone network is being switched off in 2027, and the impact on businesses will be significant. Traditional PSTN and ISDN lines are becoming obsolete, and the clock is ticking. If your business is still reliant on legacy telephony, now is the time to plan your transition.

Here’s how we support your move from legacy infrastructure to powerful, cloud-based communications:

PhoneLine+: The Smarter Alternative to Analogue Lines

If your business uses a single analogue phone line such as in a small office, shop, salon, or for card machines and alarm systems PhoneLine+ is the ideal replacement.
