IPIA Member Buying 4 You is urging business managers to act now ahead of the move over to ‘voice of over IP’ (VOIP) telephones and the discontinuation of the legacy network to avoid being stung by unexpected and higher costs near to the switchover deadline.
“BT are modernising the way they deliver telephone services to the UK. The legacy telephone network is ageing and will reach the end of its life and be switched off in December 2025, at which point all services will be withdrawn from service,” explains Alan Bradbury, Managing Director of Buying4You.
He continues: “New digital technologies and fibre connectivity is taking its place and over 16 million lines and channels will need to move to alternative products before the network is switched off. “There is no need to be panicked, albeit the deadline will soon be on us and as there are a lot of customers to help, so the sooner we all move you to VOIP phones the better.
“Indeed, we are just in the process of upgrades for a customer who with just two broadband connections and two phones are able to save £79.88 per month off their bill and £179.40 because of our 6 month promotion.”
Finding the hours in the day to research unfamiliar industries to learn the pitfalls and determine what is best for your business is not easy. Buying 4 You is a family-owned business and its philosophy is a personal service where ‘knowledge is key’.
Alan concludes: “With over 50 years of procurement knowledge, we welcome the opportunity to work with SME and corporate businesses to build their profits margins. Sometimes everyone needs a little helping hand, in a world where prices are on the rise Buying 4 You and its partners have dug deep to offer 6 months free on the standard licence fee, on a cloud-based phone system.”
