Landline switchover could cut people off in emergencies, minister warned
Original: landline
A government minister has been warned that the UK's switch from traditional copper landlines to digital phone services could leave people unable to call emergency services during power cuts. The concern centres on vulnerable and older customers who rely on landlines, particularly those without mobile coverage at home. The rollout has already been paused for some customers while safety measures are reviewed.
Why now: The digital voice switchover is an active UK policy change with fresh warnings over emergency-call safety risks.
