New digital phones

On St Martin's we aren't actually hardwired into the phone network. Along with a few other very remote places in the UK for years we have relied on a TPON link that uses microwaves to transmit all our analogue phone calls via the larger island of St Mary's.

This is very old technology and if anything were to fail repairs are nearly impossible as new parts aren't being made.

So in the interests of robust business continuity we're swapping our system over to shiny new digital phones. 

Hopefully these new phones will be clearer than our current lines and allow us to do a few more things that will hopefully improve our service to you, including, like it or loath it, playing tinkly music if we need to put you on hold - progress??
