Verizon Retires Legacy Lines – Act Now to Protect Your Communications

PRI, T1, and POTS Services Are Ending – Don’t Wait for a Disruption

Verizon has begun phasing out its legacy phone services – including PRI, Digital T1, and analog POTS lines – shifting fully to IP-based services. This change impacts thousands of businesses, schools, and government agencies still dependent on traditional TDM networks. Failing to act now could lead to unexpected outages and soaring costs.

What’s Changing:

  • No new orders for PRI, T1, or POTS
  • Phased service withdrawals began on November 1, 2025
  • Prices are rising sharply – some organizations report bills doubling overnight

Why Early Migration Matters:

  • Legacy lines are outdated, costly, and vulnerable to failures.
  • IP-based services deliver secure, scalable, and flexible communications.
  • Acting now prevents price shocks and downtime from forced cutoffs.
