Protecting Our Most Vulnerable During the Digital Switchover: What You Need to Know — Citizens Advice Lancashire West From now until January 2027, all traditional landline phones in the UK will be moving from the old analogue system to a new digital network. While this change is part of an essential nationwide upgrade, it poses a serious risk to people who rely on telecare alarms connected to analogue phone lines

🚨 Important Update for Telecare Users
Landlines across the UK are switching to digital – and it could affect emergency telecare alarms.

Act now to keep telecare alarms working safely Do you or someone you know use a telecare alarm? Landline phones are switching to digital, which could stop telecare alarms working. This means that all landline providers need to know which of their customers use telecare, so they can keep them safe.

📣 Telecare users: Landlines are going digital, and your alarm might stop working! ☎️ Act now—tell your provider you use telecare to stay safe. 🔔 The switchover is happening fast! #Telecare #DigitalSwitchover

A purple hued image of an older white person with a wristwatch style alarm pointing and speaking to a nurse. On the right the text do you know a neighbour who uses a personal alarm? Help them check if the #DigitalSwitchover will affect their service in white on a purple background. A white LGA logo is in the top left corner. 

Not everyone knows what a telecare device is.

It might just be ‘Grandad’s special watch’ to some ❤️

These sorts of devices might be affected by the #DigitalSwitchover.

Our downloadable partner toolkit contains resources to help raise awareness ⬇️
