☎️ The way we communicate is changing. Our old telephone lines are being replaced with a digital network. This means a more reliable, future proof service that will support the UK and its residents for years to come. It will affect anything that sends a signal through the old line, from personal alarm buttons to old-style home telephones. Anyone with these services should check if the #DigitalSwitchover will affect them, so their service isn’t disrupted. Find out what you, your family and neighbours need to do to be ready: https://lnkd.in/exjxCafZ
