BT invite their customers to ask any questions they have about landlines going digital

You might have already heard that landlines in the UK are going digital by 2025. Although the landline isn’t going away, we know that you might have questions or would like to know more about what this means for your home phone and other services that connect to your landline such as Telecare, pendant alarms and burglar alarms.

It’s extremely important that your phone company know what services you use through your landline, so that they can help you through any steps that are needed to make the switch.

BT are inviting their customers to switch to its digital home phone service on a region-by-region basis and are holding local drop-in events in Carmarthenshire where they’ll have a team on hand who can tell you what Digital Voice is, why the change is necessary and what it means for you.

You don’t have to pre-book, just turn up!  Here are the drop-in events taking place within the county in April:
15 – 16th April Morrisons Llanelli, Pemberton Retail Park, Trostre Roundabout, Llanelli 10am – 4pm
