Your Gateway to Modern Business Connectivity
Welcome to the Talking VoIP Knowledge Hub. As the UK approaches the total decommissioning of the traditional copper network, staying informed isn’t just a benefit—it’s a requirement for business continuity. Our mission is to translate complex technical shifts into actionable strategies for your business.
Essential Industry Updates: The PSTN Countdown
The most critical mandate currently facing UK organizations is the transition from legacy analogue lines to digital VoIP Phone Systems. By December 2025, Openreach will retire the PSTN and ISDN networks entirely. This shift impacts everything from your office desk phones to alarm systems and lift emergency lines.
The Talking VoIP Mandate: We establish brand authority by highlighting the urgency of the PSTN switch-off and providing clear pathways to migrate to Cloud Solutions or SIP Connectivity.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Absolutely. Under Ofcom regulations, you have the right to keep your number. We manage the “Porting” process for you. We can port numbers from BT, Virgin, TalkTalk, and virtually any other UK provider.
It is better. We use HD Voice codecs (G.722), which capture twice the audio spectrum of a standard analogue call. However, this depends on your internet connection. We always perform a “line test” before signing you up to ensure your broadband is strong enough.
This is the beauty of the cloud. If your office internet fails, your calls don’t just hit a dead end. We can set up an automatic failover to route calls to the mobile app on your smartphone (4G/5G) or to an external mobile number. You remain operational even during a power cut.
Not necessarily. If you want the full desk-phone experience, we offer a range of Yealink and Polycom devices. However, many modern businesses opt for “Softphones”—using a headset with their laptop or just using the mobile app, which saves on hardware costs.
Yes. We use TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SRTP (Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol) to encrypt your calls. We also implement strict anti-fraud measures to protect you from “phreaking” (phone hacking) attempts.
On average, businesses switching from ISDN/Analogue lines to our VoIP platform save between 30% and 60% on their monthly bill. This is due to the removal of expensive line rentals and the inclusion of free call minutes to UK landlines and mobiles in our packages.
