An analogue telephone system uses a handset to transmit voice by converting it from sound waves into electrical waves. These waves are then transferred through a phone line to the receiving telephone at the other end.

After the transfer is done, the receiving telephone changes the electrical waves back into sound waves and a conversation takes place. Analogue lines are also known as POTS (plain old telephone system), copper lines or CO lines.

More on analogue systems

Analogue phone systems used to be the most popular systems for many businesses. Many telephone lines today are being transferred to digital but still, analogue lines are used mainly to provide the final connection between local phone exchanges and businesses.

Analogue lines are inexpensive and have a better sound quality than digital lines. But, they can only provide a limited capacity for data transfer so they are unable to cope with the amount of data that modern businesses now require.

Analogue lines are cheaper to maintain. You don’t need trained professionals to maintain the system. On the other hand, a digital system is easier to program. Analogue systems use a series of electrical pulses to send signals so they are much more vulnerable to outside circumstances such as interference.

Analogue lines are used by small to medium businesses that have 15 inbound lines. If more lines are needed, a digital telephone system is recommended. It has more features that are cost effective so it will give owners a better service. You don’t need to pay for a separate line for each handset with a digital system.

Many small offices find analogue systems to be suitable to meet their needs. These lines are easy to arrange and the installation cost is low.

Analogue lines are also used for specialist applications such as emergency phones, dial-up modems, analogue fax machines or as a back-up for digital or VoIP phone lines.

Analogue telephones are ideal for home use because they can be plugged into any British Telecom phone sockets which are commonly found in houses. You can use most analogue phones without a phone system. They have features such as loudspeakers and answer phones that come at a lower price compared to their digital counterparts.

If you need to connect your analogue telephone to a non-analogue network, you need an analogue telephone adapter but nowadays, phone lines are already being updated to digital. To check if you have analogue lines, see if you have a REN or Ringer Equivalence Number and if it complies with part 68 of the FFC rules. If not, you need a digital to analogue adapter. This will ensure that your phone will work and that you do not damage any internal workings of your system.
