Phone line with Fibre To The Premises.

Sparkingchip

Fibre is being installed to my home in a few weeks time.

Looking at the options to keep landline phones and the number the only realistic option seems to be to get VoIP from Vonage with a telephone adapter box.

There is an option of a “pensioners” landline deal for phone only on the copper, but it’s relatively expensive and may only be available for a couple of years.

So the first question is should I keep the “landline phone” and number, and. Is there anything other option I have missed?

    I have used a virtual phone number for my business in the past with a local phone number diverted to any mobile or fixed line that I wanted,. It worked very well and was not expensive. I am considering options to get rid of my existing landline especially if i transfer to fibre and  came across a virtual landline service. You will have to do a search I am having difficulty pasting a link. They say you can transfer your existing phone number to their service. I am sure there will be more than one company providing a similar service.

    let us know how you get on.
