Hi Evan, I found you! Thanks for this tip. I did phone, and while it may be possible, I will have to get permission from Bell. It seems Teksavy can no longer add a new analog customer. You are right, the infrastructure structure is here, but Bell will not sell it to me. I told a supervisor at Teksavy that I will see about a medical / human rights accommodation request since the infrastructure already exists. Thanks for the tip, Karen On Sun, 19 Mar 2023, Evan Leibovitch wrote:
Hi Karen,
If the problem is that your new location can be served by analog but Bell refuses to sell it, you may have luck with Teksavvy which I use for my home landline. They wholesale the analog service from Bell for a home phone product.
On Teksavvy's website at https://www.teksavvy.com/services/phone/ is a Javascript applet into which you enter your postal code and reports back if their service is available. If that doesn't work you can reach them by phone at 1-877-779-1575 Their tech support has been pretty good for me.
Even if your new location is served only by fiber and cannot do DSL or analog natively, Teksavvy uses different home routers from Bell, and their offerings may provide digital-to-analog facilities that could be friendlier to your specialized phone.
I hope they can help.

Hi folks, Any carrier still provide this as an option? I have moved, with Bell no longer offering analog, only fiberactic which seems to interact with the specialty phone I use due to disability. Thoughts? Karen
