A "once-in-a-generation" change will soon be made to how some landlines work in Nottinghamshire. BT recently announced plans to roll out its new home phone service, Digital Voice, on a region-by-region basis, starting with the East Midlands.
An industry-wide shift from analogue to digital landlines will see BT and many other telecoms operators in the UK provide services over a broadband line. BT has said this "once-in-a-generation upgrade" will future-proof the UK’s landlines and replace technology that is fast becoming obsolete.
For most customers making the switch simply involves plugging your phone into a broadband router instead of into a wall-mounted phone socket. This will allow users to take advantage of new benefits like advanced spam call blocking.
