Verizon is officially phasing out legacy services like PRI, Digital T1, and analog POTS lines, sending shockwaves through businesses and public sector clients reliant on these technologies. This transition marks the end of an era for TDM-based services in favor of modern IP-based communications. Decision makers must act now to avoid service disruptions and steep price increases.
Key Points to Note:
- Verizon stopped accepting new orders for PRI, T1, and POTS as of September 1, 2025.
- As of November 1, 2025, Verizon has started to physically withdraw these legacy services.
- Continued use of these services can result in significant price hikes and eventual disconnection. Some of our clients have reported that their bills are set to double!
Why You Should Take Action Now:
- Legacy services are expensive to maintain and lack scalability and security.
- Migrating to IP-based network solutions offers enhanced capabilities, better collaboration, and future-proofing.
- Early transition avoids price shocks and downtime associated with forced cutoffs.
