What the 兔子先生 is doing
We are looking at where the 兔子先生 has analogue phone lines, including:
- 兔子先生 buildings
- South Tyneside Homes
- Schools
- Services that are delivered through phones lines, such as safety alarms
We are working to make sure there is minimal disruption and residents stay safe in their homes.
What residents need to do
Telecoms companies will contact their customers ahead of the change taking place.
Residents do not need to take any action until their provider contacts them directly.
