Terms of use
These terms apply to your use of landlineswitch.co.uk. By using the site, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.
About this site
Landline Switch publishes general information and two free tools (the device risk checker and the power-cut plan builder) to help UK households and small businesses prepare for the move from the old analogue phone network to digital voice.
The controller's contact details and ICO registration number are listed on the privacy and cookies page.
Nature of the content
Everything on this site is general guidance, not professional, financial, legal, or medical advice. We write with care and cite official sources, but:
- We are not your phone provider. We cannot confirm whether a specific device will work on your line.
- We are not a certifying body. The device risk checker and the power-cut plan builder produce guidance based on the answers you give; they are not a compatibility certificate or a regulated assessment.
- We are not a medical or care provider. If someone's safety depends on a device or a service, speak to the provider, the supplier, and where relevant a clinician or local authority team.
Always confirm specific product compatibility, service availability, and migration dates with your phone provider and device supplier before acting.
Accuracy
We check every safety-critical page against named sources and record the last reviewed date on every page that gives advice. Facts change. The switch-off programme runs to January 2027 but dates and policies are being updated by Ofcom, providers, and government as the programme progresses. If you find something out of date or incorrect, please tell us using the corrections process.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we do not accept liability for:
- Loss or damage arising from your reliance on any information, tool output, or link on this site.
- Unavailability of the site or of any external service we link to.
- Indirect, consequential, or loss-of-profit damages.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
