Over the past couple of years, the FCC has been planning on mandating POTS phone lines to be completely phased out by August 2, 2022. What people don’t know is that this mandate has been suspended indefinitely. Your current phone company may be raising or threatening to increase phone rates, when that does not have to be the case. MBS offers affordable rates, with no threat of an increase due to POTS when making the switch to VoIP.

What is POTS?:

POTS stands for Plain Old Telephone Service. POTS is basically an analog voice transmission phone system implemented over copper twisted pair wires. It is the phone line technology most of us grew up with at home and it is exactly what you think it is: copper wires dangling overhead, carrying your voice from one place to another. In today’s world, most businesses rely on more modern phone systems like VoIP.

POTS vs VoIP:

Voice over IP (VoIP) uses your existing internet connection to transmit voice and data from one party to the next. VoIP makes it possible to connect remote offices and keep communications stable. If you’re looking for a reliable, more-cost effective phone service for your business, MBS highly recommends VoIP.

Don’t let your phone company threaten your business with increased prices just for your phone plan. Let MBS help you make the quick and easy transition to VoIP. We offer affordable rates and don’t threaten an increase in our prices.
