Protecting Our Most Vulnerable During the Digital Switchover: What You Need to Know — Citizens Advice Lancashire West
From now until January 2027, all traditional landline phones in the UK will be moving from the old analogue system to a new digital network. While this change is part of an essential nationwide upgrade, it poses a serious risk to people who rely on telecare alarms connected to analogue phone lines

Not everyone knows what a telecare device is.

It might just be ‘Grandad’s special watch’ to some ❤️

These sorts of devices might be affected by the #DigitalSwitchover.

Our downloadable partner toolkit contains resources to help raise awareness ⬇️

📣 Telecare users: Landlines are going digital, and your alarm might stop working! ☎️ Act now—tell your provider you use telecare to stay safe. 🔔 The switchover is happening fast! #Telecare #DigitalSwitchover
Act now to keep telecare alarms working safely
Do you or someone you know use a telecare alarm? Landline phones are switching to digital, which could stop telecare alarms working. This means that all landline providers need to know which of their customers use telecare, so they can keep them safe.
