SAVE OUR LANDLINES: Help us maintain full access to our well-established and vital copper landline network.
Final supporters
OUR ANALOGUE COPPER LANDLINE TELEPHONE NETWORK PROVIDES A RELIABLE, HIGH QUALITY, SECURE AND AFFORDABLE VOICE SERVICE.
British Telecom companies are planning to pull the plug on essential landlines in favour of less-regulated, less reliable,less secure and more expensive wireless phones or Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol (VOIP). They lack a sensible plan to keep people safely and reliably connected. British Telecom (BT), for example, have already been moving customers from landlines to internet connections, although they have temporarily postponed the roll-out after escalating complaints from concerned customers.
BT to end landline phones sparking fears for millions of vulnerable and elderly people: “Around six percent of households – roughly 1.5million homes – do not have access to the Internet, according to watchdog Ofcom.” https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/bt-end-landline-phones-sparking-25544885
Dismantling landlines will cost us safety, health as well as jobs and cut off critical emergency communications access to millions of people. We must defend our landlines from unscrupulous telecom companies and governments. If you want to keep your choice to have a reliable landline in your home or business, you need to act now. Please sign this Call to Action, contact your MP and spread the word across the UK.
Re-investing in our copper telephone landline network will be beneficial for Public Health, Security and Ecology. Copper landlines serve as a necessary, reliable and safe alternative to power-grid dependent, energy-hungry communications systems like VOIP. Landlines are also far more benign than mobile phone services as wireless connections are less secure and harmful to our health.
There is no longer any question whether wireless Radio Frequency (RF) radiation – used in mobile phone communications and wireless devices – is harmful to humans and wildlife. Commonly identified health consequences of short and longer term exposures include insomnia, headaches and fatigue, as well as other serious and life changing ailments.Tens of thousands of scientific papers (linked herein) have cited connections to the role of EMFs in a multitude of adverse health effects, including depression, infertility, cancer, damage to DNA/gene expression, oxidative stress, pregnancy complications, Melatonin production, neurological disorders, immune dysfunction, Alzheimers/dementia, leukaemia, and many, many more.
Over 1,600 scientific papers can be found here: https://www.powerwatch.org.uk/science/studies.asp
Another 4000+ studies can be found here: http://www.bioinitiative.org
And another 23,840 studies are linked here: www.EMF-portal.org
Finally, here is a recent compilation of the vast number of known biological effects from wireless radiation: https://www.5gfrequencyfreefairbanks.org

Landlines are a life-line for many; in some rural communities, they have limited access to the Internet. Landlines must be preserved; many older people rely on it exclusively. Removing Landlines means more isolation and more unavoidable deaths.
There are still plenty of seniors like me who don't use a mobile phone. Both the landline and internet were off for several hours on two successive days last week which meant I was totally incommunicado. Landlines must continue and be properly maintained.
I was 'forced' to have this technology and have lost my landline. Now computer is slow, voices distorted on the phone and a lot of disruption to my set-up. If the internet goes down, I will have no way of contacting anyone in an emergency - I am in my 80s
Many people do not or cannot use mobile phones or wifi and internet coverage is still not good in rural areas. Landlines will work in the event of a power cut and it would be completely insane to remove the security and choice of having a landline.
I still use my landline and I don't want to use it. It is unnecessary to change a system which works and which is reliable. When Fukushima was hit by the tsunami the only phones that could work were the landline phones - all the cell phones were useless.
Please allow people to have a choice especially our value Elders
This is so essential. Let's bring healthy back.

A basic voice-telephone system that does not depend entirely on servers or the Internet is NEEDED as a reversionary system to support the most basic comms needs when there are power and internet outages. Never assume that nothing can go wrong.
