Last call for copper
Got a notice about your phone lines?
If your carrier has told you copper service is ending, the lines at risk are usually the ones nobody thinks about: the fire alarm panel, the elevator phone, the refuge station, the alarm dialer. They do not fail loudly. They just stop reporting.

Three things worth knowing today
| What to do | |
|---|---|
| The date is real | Carriers now have a fast, federally protected route to retire copper. A notice is not an opening offer. |
| You have more lines than you think | Inventories are decades old. The audit exists because almost nobody can list their own analog lines. |
| Your equipment can stay | A managed analog line gives real dial tone at the jack. The panel, the permit and the inspection all stand. |
