Free digital switchover advice drop-ins in Yorkshire & Humber
Annie Mannion | 18 Jul 2023
Did you know that landlines in the UK are going digital by 2025?
Do you know anyone who might need to know more about it to get prepared? Perhaps an elderly relative or a client you work with at your organisation?
Throughout August, BT Group will be heading to towns and cities across Yorkshire & Humber, where a team will be on hand to share useful information about Digital Voice, BT’s new home phone service that enables its customers to move off the analogue public service telephone network.
Where are the drop in sessions being held?
In all 20 locations BT customers can drop-in and have a 1-2-1 conversation with a BT advisor about what Digital Voice means for them, why the change is necessary and get reassurance about any concerns about making the switch when the time comes.
If you yourself are interested in attending, or you know or work with anyone who you think could benefit from individual support with the switch, you can share information about sessions taking place in the following locations during August:
