POTS Line Replacement for Elevators, Fire Alarms and Fax Lines
Carriers are retiring copper phone lines and raising prices on the ones left. We find every POTS line in your buildings and replace each one with a compliant, monitored alternative, before it fails an inspection or an emergency call.
The cost of waiting
- per line, per month, a few years ago
- $30–40
- per line, per month, now
- $100+
Since August 2022, the FCC no longer requires carriers to maintain copper POTS service, and reliability is dropping as prices rise.
Where POTS lines are still hiding in your buildings
Most companies don't know how many copper lines they still pay for, or what's connected to them.
Elevator emergency phones
Fire alarm panels
Security & burglar alarms
Gate, door entry & call boxes
Fax lines for healthcare & legal
School & childcare security lines
Emergency call boxes for pools, parking garages & fitness centers

FAQs
POTS line questions we hear most
Are POTS lines being discontinued in Florida?
Copper lines are being retired nationwide, Florida included. Since August 2022 carriers haven’t been required to maintain them, so prices are rising and repairs are slower.
What is a POTS-in-a-box?
A small device that plugs into your existing equipment and replaces the copper line with LTE or internet service, usually with battery backup and remote monitoring.
Will the replacement meet fire and elevator code?
We recommend solutions listed to UL 864 and designed for NFPA 72, and coordinate with your alarm vendor and local fire authority before cutover.
What happens during a power outage or hurricane?
Life-safety replacements include battery backup (often 24 hours) and can fail over between cellular and wired connections.
How much does POTS line replacement cost?
In most cases, the monthly cost is lower than what carriers now charge for copper, and My Resource Partners’ audit costs you nothing.
