Your simple phoneline replacement
In 2025, all existing lines connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) in the UK will be switched off completely as part of the PSTN Switch Off. If you haven’t heard about it, you can read our Q&A here.
In short, the Switch Off will mean that your landline connection and any special services or internet connections that utilise this copper line will be turned off. Replacement products such as Full Fibre (FTTP) will be vital in the near future and become the lifeblood of our communication systems, along with mobile data and cellular connectivity.
Your phone number is essential so when the Switch Off happens, you’ll want to keep that number. With DHV Lite, you’ll not only futureproof your phones in time for the Switch Off, you’ll also keep your number and take advantage of so many more great features.
How does DHV Lite work?
DHV Lite is your phoneline, but more. It’s what’s known as a VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol solution. To put that simply: it uses your internet connection to call people and let them contact you.
With DHV Lite you can use all the features your traditional phoneline used such as: voicemail, call divert, call hold, contact directory, call transfer, call forwarding and number withholding.
On top of that, you’ll also get free local, national, and mobile calls in the UK and some key international destinations. You can create out of hours times for each day of the week, be that a whole day or part of a day. Calls can then be diverted to a colleague or those trying to phone you can receive a voicemail where they can leave messages for you to pick up the next day. How you use DHV Lite is entirely up to you. Speaking of voicemails, DHV Lite lets you record unique messages depending on if you’re on another call, away from the phone or closed for the day.
You’ll be able to manage all of this from your PC, laptop or IP handset. Daisy PhoneLine+ utilises your existing technology to create a safe service that can grow if needed. You won’t be tied to one location and you can use DHV Lite wherever you are, whenever it’s needed. As an administrator of your DHV Lite account, you’ll have complete control over who uses it, letting you add and remove remote workers with the click of a button.
Why now?
DHV Lite is the future for organisations who want a low-cost, easy-to-use and simple way to stay connected. The PSTN Switch Off is almost here and, with a complete stop sell of the existing PSTN services including standard phonelines from September 2023, changing to a VoIP solution now will save time and hassle later.
