The Right Time to Switch Is Now
Delaying the replacement of POTS lines until youâre forced to act can be a costly decision. Consider the challenges businesses are already facing:
- Escalating costs: On average, analog lines are priced 60% higher, with costs continuing to rise annually.
- Declining reliability: Outdated infrastructure is prone to failures and unexpected outages.
- Repair delays: Limited technicians and supply shortages mean slower service and higher costs.
- Compliance concerns: Staying on old systems risks fines and can put employee and customer safety at risk.
Proactively upgrading now means avoiding last-minute stress while gaining a more reliable, efficient, and future-ready solution.
Frequently asked questions
What is a POTS line, otherwise known as plain old telephone service?
If youâve ever picked up a landline phone, youâve already used POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). As the original analog phone system, POTS was the foundation of voice communication for decades. While most businesses have transitioned to modern VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) solutions, many small businesses still use POTS lines, sometimes without realizing it. From fax machines and alarm systems to credit card processors and basic desk phones, POTS quietly powers many operations. But what once worked reliably for years may no longer meet the demands of todayâs business environment.
Why Are POTS Lines Going Away?
If your business still relies on a traditional landline, youâve probably heard that POTS lines are being phased out. But what does that really mean? Can you still get one, and should you even try? After decades of reliable service, itâs natural to wonder why this change is happening.
One of the main reasons businesses are switching to modern alternatives is that maintaining legacy POTS infrastructure is becoming increasingly impractical. The FCC has eased regulations, allowing providers to retire copper-based lines, which has driven up costs, some reportedly exceeding $600 per month. As AT&T, Verizon, and other carriers transition to digital networks, POTS reliability continues to decline, with fewer technicians available to maintain these aging systems.
What Options Do I Have for Replacing POTS Lines?
Replacing all of your legacy devices can be complicated, costly, and unrealistic. A smarter alternative is a simple, affordable digital solution that connects legacy equipment just like a traditional POTS line. You get an all-in-one package that includes hardware, a wireless data connection on a nationwide network, and phone service. Sensitive data stays private, as information is encrypted and never travels across the public internet, making it ideal for devices such as analog fax machines and point-of-sale systems. The device is designed to meet regulatory requirements for critical equipment, including fire alarm panels and elevator phones.
Can I Use My Current Phones and Equipment?
Yes. In most cases, your existing phones, fax machines, and alarm systems are fully compatible with POTS replacement solutions, no costly replacements required.
