We audit your lines
Most businesses have more POTS lines than they realize — we inventory them before recommending anything.
Most businesses have copper POTS lines they don't actively manage — running fire alarms, elevators, security systems, fax machines, and gate phones. As carriers retire copper and raise legacy-line pricing, those quiet lines become cost, compliance, and uptime risks.
Carriers have been retiring copper in waves. Notices can be easy to miss, especially when the original telecom contact is gone and the bill is buried in autopay.
A carrier sends a retirement, migration, or service-change notice. It often lands with the wrong person.
Legacy analog line pricing can climb sharply before anyone reviews the invoice. Autopay hides the problem.
Copper goes silent. Fire alarm dialer can't call out. Elevator phone is dead.
Inspection finds non-functional fire alarm. Emergency rates and liability exposure.
Most facilities teams underestimate POTS line count by 5×. The real total is buried in autopay invoices nobody reviews.
Fire panel dials a monitoring station when the alarm trips. Copper dies → no monitoring → fire code violation under NFPA 72.
Required by ASME A17.1 in every elevator. Copper dies → trapped passengers can't reach 911.
Dial out to monitoring center on alarm trigger. Without copper, your alarm system is just lights and noise.
Healthcare, legal, government still rely on fax for compliance. Most run on analog POTS.
Apartment buildings, gated communities, secure facilities — gate phones often run on POTS.
Many retail locations still have analog credit card terminals dialing out for transaction processing.
Wireless, VoIP, and specialty replacement options can connect to existing alarm panels, elevator phones, fax machines, and other analog endpoints. Life-safety use cases require properly listed equipment and coordination with the alarm/elevator vendor.

Single line? Multi-line? Dispatcher level? We pick the right replacement per system.
Plugs into existing fire panel, elevator phone, or alarm system. No system downtime.
Some lines need migration. Some can be disconnected. The savings come from knowing which is which.
Illustrative model only. Actual results depend on carrier bills, geography, system type, device choice, contract terms, and which lines can be safely disconnected.
Pull your AT&T or local carrier invoice and search for line items labeled "POTS," "analog," "plain old telephone service," or "copper." If you have fire alarms, elevators, or fax machines — you almost certainly have them.
30 minutes per line, typically. We coordinate with your facilities team and alarm company. No system downtime.
The wireless units use commercial-grade LTE/5G with external antenna options. We test signal during the audit before installing. If signal is weak, we recommend a different solution.
Often, yes, but it has to be done correctly. Fire alarm and elevator applications require properly listed equipment, monitoring-path testing, and coordination with the responsible vendor and local authority having jurisdiction.
That is where the audit matters most. Multi-location portfolios need line inventory, system tagging, phased rollout planning, vendor coordination, and a cancellation checklist so old lines do not keep billing.
Nothing. Free. We make money when you choose to switch — the carriers we work with pay our commission. You pay the same price as if you went direct.
We'll find every POTS line you have, tell you what each one runs, and show you exactly what replacement looks like. No commitment.
