Your copper lines are being discontinued. Not sure what they support? Start here.

We know you have questions, and between this page and our team, we’re here to help you find answers. It’s possible to replace your existing copper-line-dependent phone system with no loss in functionality or service, but it’s important to act before your existing line is disconnected. That timeline may be outside your control—but we’re here to make sure you get what you need before that happens.

Why is this happening?

There are several reasons, but above all: cost. Copper lines are more expensive for the carrier and for you. The infrastructure built to support the “Plain Old Telephone System” lines (POTS) is expensive to maintain and that’s leading to escalating costs for both the carrier and your organization. Plus, POTS lines aren’t compliant with modern standards for safety, payment processing or data privacy.

When is this happening?

Timelines vary. AT&T is the best source of information about when your line will be affected, but on the basis of potential cost savings alone, talking to us now is the best move. It’s very possible you’re paying more for copper lines than you will for a POTS replacement line.
