The UK Digital Switchover

The UK is transitioning to digital landlines, which means your current analogue personal alarm may not function as expected once your area is switched over. Your telephone provider will be able to inform you when the switch will take place.

To ensure you continue to receive the reliable service you expect from us, you'll need to upgrade to a digital alarm. Our digital personal alarms will keep you connected and safe throughout this transition. We're here to help you switch over smoothly, so your peace of mind continues without any interruption. Give us a call and we'll guide you through your options.
