ISDN Replacement Solutions in the UK for Film & Television Production
Future-proof your film and television communications with a seamless ISDN-to-SIP migration.
Migrate Before the Deadline
Openreach is switching off ISDN across the UK. We ensure your business is migrated well ahead of the deadline with zero disruption.
Better Features
Modern VoIP alternatives offer features ISDN never could — video calling, mobile integration, and flexible call routing.
Lower Costs
Most businesses see significant monthly savings after migrating from ISDN to VoIP, often reducing telephony costs by 40% or more.
Film & Television Production still relying on ISDN lines face an urgent deadline: the UK PSTN network is being switched off, and every ISDN line will cease to function. For film & television production using ISDN for voice calls, rushes, VFX files, and broadcast-ready masters transfers, or alarm systems, failing to migrate in time means massive production files creating bottlenecks in post-production workflows and complete loss of telephone service.
Cloudswitched provides modern ISDN replacement solutions for UK film & television production, migrates your business from legacy ISDN lines to modern SIP trunks and VoIP, ahead of the 2025 PSTN switch-off, with improved call quality and lower costs. We audit your existing ISDN usage, design a modern SIP-based replacement, and manage the entire migration so your producers, editors, and VFX artists experience no disruption to their communications.
How it works for Film & TV businesses

ISDN Replacement Solutions in the UK for Film & TV
Seamless Migration
We port your existing telephone numbers and replicate your current call routing, so your producers, editors, and VFX artists and clients experience zero disruption when ISDN lines are replaced with SIP trunks.
Significant Cost Savings
SIP trunks typically cost 40-60% less than equivalent ISDN lines. For film & television production with multiple lines across studios, production offices, and edit suites, the savings are substantial and immediate.
Enhanced Call Quality
Modern SIP trunks deliver HD voice quality that surpasses ISDN, ensuring your producers, editors, and VFX artists present professionally on every call with clients, suppliers, and film and television contacts.
Future-Proof Technology
Unlike ISDN, SIP trunks integrate with modern film and television platforms and support features like video calling, call recording, and CRM integration with Avid, DaVinci Resolve, and production management platforms.
