MANEA MATTERS
MANEA MATTERS
it’s important to understand what the change means and what action they need to
take in order to stay connected.

Connecting Cambridgeshire is running the Get Ready, Go Digital, Stay Connected
campaign to help local residents prepare form and feel confident about, the change.

The switchover will mainly affect

• People without an internet connection at home
• Those who rely on a traditional landline not already upgraded a digital phone
service
• Users of telecare and personal alarm systems, e.g. fall monitors or lifelines.

THREE things to do today

1. Contact your phone provider to find out if the change affects you.
2. Need support? Ask a trusted friend or family member to help.
3. Use a personal or fall alarm? Contact your provider to ensure it will still work with
the new system.

Look out for scams
The switchover doesn’t require upfront payments. If you get a suspicious call, hang up
and contact your phone provider using the official number from a recent bill.

Support each other

Know someone who might need help? A quick conversation or offer to help them call
their phone provider could make a big difference.

No one should be left behind. Whether it’s you, a neighbour or a relative, now is the
time to ask the question: Is your landline ready?
