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.

 

 


source?

As late as Jun 2022 Ofcom still mention Dec 2025

@disfroot
The pause to the rollout is discussed here

Also the issues are covered and the BT response to them.
You can check out but you can never leave ( easily)

@Protech 

thanks. That's BT pausing Digital Voice early trials, not Openreach announcing a change to the December 2025 turn-off.

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