Why are ISDN services ending?
ISDN services in Australia are at their end of life. Carriers will be disconnecting service of ISDN customers from September 2019 with no further support as of 2022.
As the NBN continues to rollout, the copper network supporting ISDN will also be phased out. With up to 92% of Australian premises expected to be connected to the NBN, it is critical to make the jump to SIP.
What you need to do
Customers currently using ISDN will need to migrate their service onto a Sessions Initiated Protocol (SIP) Trunk connection.
Doing this sooner rather than later will ensure you have no loss of service or business productivity. Avoid being caught in the bottleneck of last-minute mass migrations to SIP by migrating today.

What is SIP?
Sessions Initiated Protocol (SIP) is a more modern telephony solution that uses the internet to deliver voice and data through a single connection. ISDN on the other hand, used the traditional copper telephone network to deliver voice and data.
