POTS Line Updates: FCC Rules & AT&T Cutoff Make Migration Critical

The telecom landscape has officially changed. The FCC’s reduced POTS shutdown notice period — from 180 days to just 90 — is now in effect, giving businesses far less time to react when providers retire their analog lines. Adding to this, AT&T’s October 15 cutoff has already taken hold, meaning customers can no longer move, add, or modify existing POTS lines.

If your customers haven’t started migrating, they’re already on borrowed time. This change is permanent, and delayed transitions could lead to disruptions for critical systems like alarms, elevators, and security panels.

To help bridge the gap, Fusion Connect offers a managed POTS Replacement service featuring:

• Modern VoIP-based devices
• Nationwide installation and support
• Compliance with safety standards for critical systems (fire alarms, elevator rescue phones, and more)

Fusion Connect also provides partner compensation for moving existing customers to POTS Replacement — ensuring both you and your clients benefit from the transition. Read the Full POTS Replacement eBook 
to help your customers understand the urgency and take action before outages become reality.

Switching to a Modern POTS Solution Is Easier Than You Think

Transitioning your customers away from analog lines can seem complex — but with Fusion Connect, it’s simple and fully managed. Our POTS Replacement solution includes everything needed to make the switch: the all-in-one device, wireless data connectivity, battery backup, site survey, installation, and activation.

Every project is assigned a dedicated project manager who oversees the entire migration — from planning to go-live — ensuring your critical systems (like fire alarms, elevators, gates, and security) stay online throughout the transition.

And after installation, you’re supported by our fully U.S.-based team, available 24/7 for monitoring and troubleshooting.
No hassle. No downtime. Just modern reliability, at a cost that makes sense. Contact your regional channel manager to help your customers make the switch today.
