Your phone system has an end date. Most businesses don't know theirs.

Carrier services are being switched off on published dates. Some have already gone. If your business is on one of them, you will need to move, and it is a great deal easier to do that on a date you choose.

Takes about ten minutes. No obligation, and no sales pitch if you’re already fine.

What is actually being switched off*

These are published dates, not predictions. If your phone service is one of these, the clock is already running.

Exited 30 September 2026. If your provider depended on it, you may already have noticed.

If your phones run through Microsoft 365 on this service, you need somewhere to go inside eight weeks.

Already closed to new customers. The hardware based service goes dark. A long runway, which is exactly why most businesses have not started.

No longer sold to new customers. Existing services continue, for now.

Nobody is switching it off, which is its own kind of problem. There is no warning and no migration window. It simply stops, usually at the worst possible moment.

Switch-off dates are as published by the relevant carriers and were correct at the time of writing. We will confirm what applies to your specific service before anything changes.

While you're moving anyway, there's a bigger problem worth fixing

Think about the last time you tried to reach a business and gave up. You rang, you left a message, maybe you filled in a form. Nothing came back. You bought from someone else by Thursday and they never knew you existed.

Every business loses customers this way. Almost none of them can tell you how many.

Moving your phone system is the one moment when fixing that costs a single conversation instead of a project. The system is already open, the budget is already approved, and the people who need to agree are already in the room.

A phone system that works anywhere

On a desk, a laptop or a mobile. Your team answers the business number wherever they are, which matters most for the people who are never at a desk.

You keep every number

The number on your van, your invoices and your signage comes with you, exactly as it is. This is the objection most businesses have, and it is the one that is not real.

Text them from the business number

When somebody will not pick up the phone, send a text from the same number. They will read it in minutes and the whole conversation stays with the business, not on someone's personal mobile.

Confirmations that send themselves

Appointment reminders, job confirmations, "the technician is twenty minutes away". The things that currently depend on somebody remembering.

Six questions worth asking yourself.

If you answer yes to two or more of these, it is worth a ten minute conversation.

  1. Do you know what happens to your pones when your current service is switched off?
  2. Does anyone in your team use their personal mobile to text a customer?
  3. Can someone away from the office answer the main business number?
  4. Does anyone confirm appointments by hand, or not at all?
  5. If a call goes unanswered after hours, does anybody ever find out?
  6. Could you say how many enquiries you missed last month?

 

The last one is the question most businesses cannot answer, and it is usually the most expensive.

Let's find out where you stand

Ten minutes, no obligation. We will tell you whether your service has an end date, what your options are, and what it would cost. If you are already fine, we will say so.

We’ll call you within one business day and use these details for nothing else. See our Privacy Policy.
