Landline are to be axed by 2025, in a country wide switch to digital.
Quote:
The traditional landline telephone call will be consigned to history from 2025 as all UK phone calls make the transition to digital.
That means every household and business in the country that wants to maintain a phone line will also need to be connected to the internet.
Millions of Brits will therefore be forced online for the first time or will have to rely on a mobile phone.
According to the latest Ofcom research, there are still 1.5 million UK homes without an internet connection.
The change has drawn comparisons to the digital TV switchover in 2012, when broadcasters stopped transmitting analogue signals to rooftop aerials.
