Copper phone lines are going away. Don’t wait for the shutdown notice.

Canada’s major telecom carrier is retiring its copper network, area by area. If your business still has traditional analog phone lines, you may soon receive a notice that your lines are being switched to digital — with a firm cut-off date. And if you’re moving or opening a new location, copper lines may simply no longer be available there.

The good news: you don’t have to wait for the letter, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. KELCOM Telecom has been moving Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent businesses off copper for years, with a solution for every situation:

Business Phone Lines — a simple, affordable replacement for individual analog lines; works with your existing phones, fax machines, analog devices, and premise-based PBX systems
 
SIP Trunks — modern digital lines for your current phone system
 
Hosted PBX — a complete cloud phone system with unlimited US & Canada calling included

​You keep your phone numbers. Our solutions work with most existing phone systems and devices — and in most cases, you’ll end up paying less than you do today, with free, local, on-site support from our Windsor-based team.

​Introducing: KELCOM Analog Replacement Line

Where line reliability is an absolute necessity, KELCOM Analog is a high-availability replacement line built specifically for critical systems: phone lines, fax lines, fire alarms, security panels, elevator phones, public safety phones, backup phone service, and building entry phones.
​
What makes it different: it connects through your local Internet connection and is backed up by a cellular (LTE) connection at the same time — if one path fails, calls continue without interruption. A built-in battery keeps it running for 16+ hours during a power outage, extendable to more than 24. And it sends automatic notifications the moment the device goes offline or loses power, so there are no silent failures on the lines that matter most. Your existing equipment plugs right in — no need to replace your fire panel, elevator phone, or alarm hardware.
