There is one overhead expense that has been lingering over you for years. If you checked your phone bill recently, you’ll see that it has skyrocketed and is eating into your margins. How do you reclaim these profits?
After switching to Ooma AirDial, one of the nation’s largest office building operators cut elevator phone line costs by 50 percent. Replacing outdated POTS lines reduced overhead while maintaining reliable service for critical building operations.
To avoid service issues and rising costs from aging copper lines, Brickpoint Properties implemented Ooma AirDial across their properties. With 1,600 units to support, the upgrade ensures reliable operation of elevators, fire alarms, and other critical systems.
With 46 communities across the southeastern US, Phoenix Senior Living needed an affordable alternative to rising POTS line costs—one fire alarm panel line hit $849 monthly! They chose Ooma AirDial for cost efficiency and Remote Device Management capabilities.

POTS lines are the old copper wire lines that have provided residential and business phone service since Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876.
POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) is an acronym used by telecommunication carriers to refer to these legacy analog lines. POTS lines are used for more than just regular voice calls. They also service analog devices such as security alarms, fire alarm panels, FAX lines, building and gate entry systems, public safety emergency phones on campuses, elevator phones, point-of-sale systems and more.

The short answer is that copper wire lines are becoming too expensive to maintain. Telecommunication carriers are migrating to newer technologies, like VoIP solutions and fiber-optic cables. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) oversees the transition from analog to digital telecommunications services in Canada. Traditional copper-wire landlines are being phased out in Canada.
If you’re still relying on analog equipment, it’s advisable to make plans now to upgrade. By 2025, the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), which supports traditional landline phones using century-old technology, will be switched off. After this, you won’t be able to make phone calls via landline without an internet connection. So, if you’re still using a landline, consider exploring wireless alternatives or internet-based phone services to adapt to the changing landscape.

There is no magical date when all POTS lines will vanish and traditional landlines will become obsolete. In one case, AT&T announced a plan in December 2024 to shut down its POTS line service by 2029.
The bottom line is that POTS lines, which form the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), are headed toward an inevitable sunset and becoming more expensive as carriers struggle to continue providing service to an ever-shrinking subscriber base. All of this is driving both residential and business customers to switch to alternative phone options.

It depends on where you live, but chances are good that you can still find telecom providers who offer you traditional landline phone service over copper POTS lines. But be prepared for the high costs for both installation and monthly service. Also keep in mind that the aging infrastructure of analog lines make them difficult to maintain, so service may become less reliable over time.
Alternative services such as Ooma’s Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system and LTE cell phone service may be a more cost-effective solution and offer more functions than you can get with a traditional landline phone service.
