1457566 2019-01-23 22:48:00 Hi all. I keep getting the above message on my cell phone from Telecom. Is anybody getting it as well? Something about "putting down our phones & going digital only. Any ideas. PJ Poppa John (284)
1457567 2019-01-23 22:53:00 I think spark is shutting off the old landline network, that might be it?

Not quite. They are trying to get people who are using Chorus copper to switch over their 4G network for internet and phone service so Spark doesn't have to pay for the copper content.

Well that's true, but their margins are better on the network they own themselves.

1457575 2019-01-24 08:07:00 Hey PJ, have a look at the Skinny $9 account. Better value for money with phone calls, data and texts. Part of Spark so no problems changing over and keeping your old number.
