What I actually want is a Pi HAT with an RJ11 socket on it and the electronics required to provide different levels of isolated line voltage and then just an audio passthrough to a Pi so people can interface telephones with whatever services they want and using whatever codecs they decide to use. Maybe a niche product though

That would be fun, but I was thinking the old Huawei HG612 sized box with RJ11 one side to the filter / faceplate and maybe a BT 612a jack the other. 😂

They exist https://switchpi.com/product/oakr2-base-module-with-... - pity they don't just do a less expensive HAT which has the FXS onboard, there isn't going to be much need for FXO once PSTN has gone.

Fixed voice is an ever declining market, both in terms of aggregate minutes and subscribers.

I can’t see BT Group launching any new products specifically to service this market, given its declining revenue base.

Also from a service perspective it makes sense for them to standardise on the same box as broadband customers and we already know what these look like etc.

Agreed, friends in their 70s can’t wait for the phone line to go. Its only used by junk / spam callers

If they're in such a desperate hurry then why haven't they unplugged their phone? Problem solved.

Worry their less technology aware friends have all got the message

[While BT existing line customers may be offered this solution, there are thousands of ADSL users via many different suppliers. And that's before you count in third-party party suppliers.
Age UK has published the Ofcom requirements related to a defined type of end-user.
As the press release I am holding could be out of date, I suggest you search the AGE UK web site

The link to the BT information pages was extremely useful. BUT what about users who are NOT BT customers?

Each provider should be contacting their customers before 2025 to let them know what their options are
