It’s Time to Hang Up on Your Analog Phone Lines

Just as the country made the transition from dial-up internet connections to the faster and more efficient DSL (digital subscriber line) cable broadband system in use today, the FCC has announced plans to phase out analog phone lines in the US.

Technically, yes.

There are many apps and internet sites, like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Google Duo and Hangouts, Skype, and Viber that can be used to make and receive voice and video calls.

Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp, and Face Time are all examples of communication options supported by VoIP technology. Customers who have officially transitioned to VoIP systems have discovered:

  • VoIP lines are easier and cheaper to install - Initial installation of analog phone set-ups can cost between $50-$100 per line. A new VoIP system can be installed in minutes with little setup fee or disruption to your daily business.
  • VoIP lines are simpler to maintain, repair, and upgrade - Unlike analog lines, which required an onsite technician to make needed repairs or regular maintenance to the phone lines, maintenance and updates for a hosted VoIP phone system can be taken care of remotely by your provider.
  • VoIP lines are cheaper to operate - On average, monthly service fees and call rates are more expensive for analog phone lines than VoIP systems. In fact, VoIP phone systems typically offer free or substantially reduced calling rates for all national and international calls.
  • VoIP line offer superior service options - VoIP phone systems offer advanced features at no additional cost or need for hardware add-ons. VoIP systems transmit not only voice, but video, and any form of multimedia available on the Internet.
