ISDN Replacement Solutions in the UK for Printing & Packaging

Future-proof your printing 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.

Printing & Packaging 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 printing & packaging using ISDN for voice calls, artwork files, production schedules, and client proofs transfers, or alarm systems, failing to migrate in time means large print-ready files clogging bandwidth and delaying production runs and complete loss of telephone service.

Cloudswitched provides modern ISDN replacement solutions for UK printing & packaging, 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 print managers and prepress operators experience no disruption to their communications.

How it works for Printing businesses

A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.

1

Comprehensive Audit

We audit every ISDN line, channel, and number in your business — including those used for alarms, lifts, fax machines, and card payment terminals — to ensure nothing is missed.

2

Tailored Replacement Plan

Based on your audit, we recommend the right combination of VoIP, SoGEA, and analogue adapters to replace every ISDN service with a modern equivalent.

3

Managed Migration

We port your numbers, configure new systems, and test everything before decommissioning your old ISDN lines. Your team experiences zero downtime during the switch.

Seamless Migration

We port your existing telephone numbers and replicate your current call routing, so your print managers and prepress operators 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 printing & packaging with multiple lines across print shops, factories, and design studios, the savings are substantial and immediate.

Enhanced Call Quality

Modern SIP trunks deliver HD voice quality that surpasses ISDN, ensuring your print managers and prepress operators present professionally on every call with clients, suppliers, and printing contacts.

Future-Proof Technology

Unlike ISDN, SIP trunks integrate with modern printing platforms and support features like video calling, call recording, and CRM integration with EFI Pace, Tharstern, and prepress workflow platforms.
