    OCCTATelecom That Gets It

    Landline plans that survive the PSTN switch-off

    The traditional landline is going away. Digital Home Phone (VoIP) replaces it — same handset, same number, same behaviour, just plugged into the router instead of the wall.

    The short answer

    OCCTA Digital Home Phone runs over your broadband from £4.95/mo on pay-as-you-go calls. You keep your existing landline number, can add unlimited UK landline and mobile calls for £3/mo, and stay covered when Openreach switches off the copper network by 2027.

    01

    How it works

    Your existing corded or DECT phone plugs into the OCCTA router's green port. Anyone can still ring your number. You can still call 999. No new handset needed.
    02

    What's included

    Pay-as-you-go calls, voicemail-to-email, caller display, number porting from your old provider. Unlimited UK landline and mobile calls are a £3/mo add-on, and an International Calls Pack (300 minutes to 50+ countries) is £5/mo.
    03

    Keeping your number

    We port your existing number as part of setup. Most numbers move within 5–10 working days with no downtime.
    04

    Emergency calls and power cuts

    Because Digital Voice needs power and broadband, we send a battery back-up unit free to any customer over 65, disabled, or without a working mobile signal at home.

    Digital Voice needs power. We supply a free battery back-up unit to eligible vulnerable customers, and always recommend a mobile as a secondary option. See our vulnerable customers policy.

    Yes. 999 and 112 work exactly the same and your address is registered with the emergency operator.

    Yes — Digital Voice runs over your OCCTA broadband. If you'd rather not switch broadband, we can point you at a standalone VoIP provider.
