Unexpected! Why Plusnet Digital Voice Won’t Be Launching

Vikki BournerWritten by Vikki Bourner, on 12 Aug, 2024


Well, well, well! Just when we thought Plusnet was jumping on the digital voice bandwagon, they’ve thrown us a curveball. That’s right, folks – Plusnet digital voice won’t be making its grand debut after all. But don’t worry, we’re here to spill the beans on why and what it means for you if you’re a customer.

Why no Plusnet digital voice?

You might be scratching your head, wondering why Plusnet isn’t joining the digital voice party. Especially when they have a good reputation for providing broadband and traditional landlines. It seemed like the next logical step. So, let’s break it down:

  • Sticking to what they know: Plusnet has always been about simple, no-frills broadband. Adding a digital voice service might dilute their service & complicate things.
  • Infrastructure hurdles: Switching to digital voice requires some fancy tech upgrades. Plusnet might not be ready for that investment just yet.
  • Market strategy: They might be happy to let other providers take the lead in the digital voice arena. This is wise in an industry where people are looking to separate their home phone & broadband services for a better deal.

What does this mean for you?

If you’re a Plusnet customer hoping for a new digital landline, you might feel a bit let down. But don’t worry! They will support your analogue landline for now. However, if you’ve made the choice to switch early and reap the big benefits of home VoIP, there’s a silver lining to this cloud.

There's no Plusnet digital voice, but don't worry.

Why Phonely could be your best bet!

Why choose digital voice anyway?
