FIND OUT MORE
Gamma has enlisted the help of the beloved Aardman character, Morph, to raise awareness about the imminent PSTN switch- off among UK businesses. A recent study uncovered that nearly 29% of UK businesses are unaware of Openreach’s plan to discontinue traditional PSTN lines by December 2025, which could disrupt business continuity. The collaboration between Gamma and Morph aims to simplify this complex issue,
inform businesses about their options, and emphasise the
benefits of embracing the technological transition. Morph’s unique charm and communication style make him the perfect messenger for this critical campaign, ensuring that UK businesses are well-prepared for the upcoming transition.
