Copper POTS Retirement Tracker
Carriers across the U.S. are retiring traditional copper landlines. If your emergency phone still relies on a copper line, that service can go dark without warning — which is why many properties are switching to cellular emergency phones.
Use the table below to see which carriers have active copper retirement programs in each state. This data is especially important for properties that still depend on copper POTS lines for pool emergency phones, elevator phones, and fire panel communicators.
