IMPORTANT FOR NEC. TOSIBA. SHORTEL. AVAYA OWNERS.

Your Phone System

Is Living On Barrowed Time.

NEC and Toshiba have left the market. Shortel is approaching End of Life and End of Support in 2029.  Avaya  has announced EOL and is forcing clients to subscription. Do you know what happens to your business the moment your system fails – usually a Friday at 3 PM? Who do you call? And what if you were told hosted cloud is your only option? ARRC has all the options – full premise, full cloud, and hybrid premise/cloud

Why Businesses Are At Risk

The Problems You're Probably Already Feeling

You don’t think about your phone system — until it fails. Here’s what legacy system owners face every day.

01

PARTS SIMPLY DON'T EXIST ANYMORE

Manufacturers have exited the market. When a board fails—and they always seem to fail on a Friday at 3pm when no one's around—there may be nothing to find. What's your plan for that moment?

02

NO EXPANSION POSSIBLE

Need more lines? Legacy systems have hard capacity limits tied to software licenses that no longer exist. Your business can't grow if your phone system can't grow with it.

03

AT&T POTS LINES SKYROCKETING

Lines that once cost a modest monthly rate have surged dramatically as AT&T phases out copper infrastructure—and in some areas, service is simply being discontinued.

04

MISSING MODERN FEATURES

No call queuing, no mobile twinning, no voicemail-to-email, no SMS. While competitors run AI auto-attendants, you're still on "Press 1, Press 2."

05

IT'S NOT JUST CUSTOMERS — IT'S YOUR TEAM

When staff can't reach each other efficiently, transfers drop, internal calls get missed—it doesn't just frustrate customers. It demoralizes your people. Have you asked your team what they're working around every day?

06

ALARM & FAX LINES AT RISK

Security alarm lines, fax machines, elevator phones all run on POTS. AT&T's exit isn't just a phone problem. It's a safety and compliance crisis.

Who This Affects

Businesses Like Yours. Industries Like These.

There’s no “typical” business on a legacy phone system. From manufacturing floors to medical offices — if you’re holding on to an older system, you’re at risk.

POTS LINE REPLACEMENT — BEFORE AT&T FORCES YOUR HAND

Alarm lines, fax machines, elevator phones, and analog devices don't need expensive POTS lines anymore. Our solution replaces those lines at a fraction of what most businesses are currently paying before your bill climbs further or service disappears in your area.

What does the savings look like for your specific lines? That's exactly what we uncover during a complimentary discovery conversation.
