From Dec 2025, you'll now also need a working internet connection to report a life-threatening medical condition if you have no mobile access.

I thought the Dec 2025 date had been paused.

The pause to the rollout is discussed here

Also the issues are covered and the BT response to them.

@Protech

Are we stilll playing the 'Openreach are not BT' game?
