Customer safety checks
Ask the customer every question below and record their answers. Check for pendants, alarms and other services that could be affected by the proposed order. Do not assume a broadband-only order leaves the existing telephone line unchanged.
Pendants and alarms are safety-critical
If present or uncertain, record the details and refer to Netify. A customer’s assurance of digital compatibility is not clearance to proceed. Do not change or cease an affected service until the safety review is complete.
01 · Pendants & telecare
Potential danger to lifeA pendant may be someone’s only way to summon help. Changing or ceasing its telephone connection could prevent an emergency call from reaching the monitoring centre.
Ask the customer
“Does anyone here use a care pendant, personal alarm or device that calls for help? Please tell me even if it has its own connection or you have been told it works with digital services.”
Ask about every person who relies on the service, not just the person placing the order.
02 · Alarm & monitoring lines
Potential danger to lifeAn alarm may stop reaching its monitoring centre if its connection is changed or ceased. Fire and other emergency alarms can be life-critical.
Ask the customer
“Do you have a fire, security or monitored alarm that uses a telephone or broadband connection? Please include dedicated alarm lines, even if you believe the alarm is digitally compatible.”
Include alarm panels, monitoring connections and any dedicated alarm telephone line.
03 · Other services & customer understanding
Record these for review. Presence alone does not establish compatibility or eligibility for any product.
Ask about: Lift emergency phone, Door-entry system, PDQ / card payment machine, EPOS / Oyster machine, MAG bell / external bell, Wired extensions / switchboard, Featureline Standard, Existing Cloud Phone / Cloud Voice.
Ask sensitively. Record the support needed, not medical diagnoses. A Yes answer is a review flag, not automatic exclusion.
