POTS Lines Are Going Away — Here’s What That Means for Your Business
Most businesses don’t realize they’re still paying for outdated POTS lines—let alone that carriers are actively phasing them out. Prices are rising fast, reliability is dropping, and many systems you rely on every day (alarms, elevators, fire panels, gates, fax, etc.) still depend on this old copper infrastructure.
​
I talk to a lot of business owners who are frustrated, confused, or blindsided by huge increases in their monthly bills. And I get it. You shouldn’t have to be a telecom expert to understand what you’re paying for or why it’s suddenly changing.
The Real Problem
POTS lines are being retired, and carriers are using it as an opportunity to raise prices—sometimes 40%, 60%, even 100%. They’re not doing this because your service got better. They’re doing it because they can.
​
This leads to:
-
Higher monthly bills
-
Unreliable dial tone
-
Zero support when something breaks
-
Compliance risks for life-safety systems
-
Pressure to “upgrade” without transparency​
​​​
Most business owners don’t know what alternatives exist, so they end up sticking with whatever their provider recommends—even if it’s not the best fit.
Here’s How I Fix That
I make the entire transition off POTS lines simple and transparent.
Here’s what you get:
​
-
A clean audit of every POTS line you’re paying for
-
A straightforward replacement plan for each use case
-
Clear, side-by-side comparisons from multiple providers
-
Honest recommendations based on what’s best for your business
-
Full management of the ordering and installation process
-
Ongoing support after everything goes live
​

And the cost to you?
Nothing.
Carriers pay me, not you. My job is to align you with the right solution—not whatever’s easiest for them to sell.
If You’ve Been Putting This Off, Now’s the Time
POTS lines aren’t going to get cheaper. They’re not going to get more reliable. And carriers aren’t going to suddenly offer transparency.
​
If you want clarity, a real plan, and smarter options, I can help.
​
Most clients save money, improve reliability, and eliminate a problem they’ve been putting off for years. And they appreciate having someone in their corner who’s actually looking out for them.
