Why replace your Telecare equipment when it has worked perfectly well for all those years ?
Telecare equipment manufacturers would have you believe that your old Telecare unit will no longer communicate correctly when BT replace telephone land lines with their new 21CN network. While this may be true, they would have you throw equipment in perfect working order straight in the bin and replace it with their shiny new "modern" devices.
A Simple IP Conversion Device is all that is Required
Buttons, pendants, wrist-watches, and all other types of sensors are totally unaffected by VoIP. The only piece of equipment that requires an upgrade is the main device that connects to the phone line and dials a call to the Monitoring Centre.
The doom mongers are right about one thing. The analogue modem built into your device may cease to work reliably over a VoIP line, but why replace all of your other equipment just because of a single isolated problem, when that problem is easily solved ?
Sadly, VoIP has presented many in the Telecare industry with a "once in a decade opportunity" to make a killing. There is no shortage of companies lining up to tell you that you should install brand new systems before it's too late. They seem to be oblivious to the ongoing recession and tight budgets that many have to adhere to.
