The big project you were promised

You've probably been told this is a big, expensive project. It isn't.

Most business owners put off dealing with their old phone lines because they assume it means downtime, new equipment, and a huge bill. The reality is the opposite — and that's exactly what makes this an easy decision.

What you were told

A major overhaul

  • Rip out and rewire everything
  • New phones, new numbers, new hardware
  • Days of downtime for your business
  • A big, unpredictable price tag
What it actually is

A simple swap

  • One managed device does the work — your wiring stays
  • Keep your same numbers and equipment
  • Installed in one visit, with no downtime
  • Usually ~30% cheaper — and you get the quote first
Your bill now
Legacy copper — and climbing
~30% less
After the switch
Why now, plainly

Every quarter you wait, you keep overpaying.

Carriers are phasing out legacy copper nationwide, and the rates on those old lines climb year after year. There's no single deadline to panic about — just a bill that keeps growing until you act. Move on your own schedule, lock in the savings, and keep the systems that depend on those lines compliant. The only real question is how much you'll save — and that's free to find out.

Straight answers

Quick answers, in plain English.

Is this really as easy as it sounds?

Yes. It's a single managed device that your existing analog equipment plugs into — no rewiring, no new phones, no new numbers. It's installed in one visit and it's fully managed for you. The hardest part is the two minutes it takes to ask for a quote.

How much does it cost?

Usually less than businesses expect — and most save around 30% versus their current copper bill. Because every setup is a little different, our team gives you an accurate quote based on your actual lines before you commit to anything. Getting that quote is free.

Why should I deal with this now?

Because copper is being phased out industry-wide and the rates on those old lines keep climbing every year. You're not racing a single deadline — you're just choosing to stop overpaying for aging technology and get ahead of the next rate increase, on your own schedule.

Will I lose my phone numbers or have to buy new equipment?

No. You keep your existing numbers and the analog devices you already use — phones, fax, alarm panels, elevator phones. The device simply routes those same lines over a modern network instead of copper.

What about my fire alarm and elevator lines?

Covered. The solution is UL- and FCC-compliant for life-safety and emergency communications and fully supports alarm, elevator, and fax systems — which is exactly why a purpose-built solution matters rather than a consumer internet phone service.

Who actually provides this?

The platform is MetTel's — a nationwide business telecom provider trusted by organizations like the U.S. Postal Service and the Veterans Administration. SwitchPoint is your local point of contact to get it scoped, quoted, and installed with minimal hassle.
