Reading time < 2 minutes

The ISDN switch-off in Scotland is scheduled to take place in 2025. This is a major change for charities that rely on ISDN or analogue telephony, and it's important to start planning for the transition now.

Why is the ISDN switch-off happening?

The ISDN switch-off is being carried out in order to make way for newer, more reliable and efficient technologies. Fibre optic connections are now the standard for telephone and internet services, offering the following advantages over copper-based connections, including faster speeds, greater reliability, and improved security.

What are the benefits of digital telephony?

Digital telephony offers numerous benefits for charities, including:

  • Improved call quality: Digital calls are clearer and more reliable than analogue calls.
  • Increased reliability: Digital systems are less prone to interference and outages.
  • Greater flexibility: Digital systems offer a wider range of features and functionality, such as voicemail, call forwarding and video conferencing.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Digital systems can be more cost-effective than analogue systems, especially for charities with multiple locations.
