Copper and analog line replacement in Southern CaliforniaFrom our Yorba Linda office to every county around it.
AT&T is moving to retire copper landlines in parts of California. TELMOVE replaces the copper and analog lines behind elevator phones, fire alarm panels, fax machines, call boxes, gates and business phones across Orange County, Los Angeles, the Inland Empire and San Diego, and keeps every device working on its existing wiring.
Many buildings have more copper lines than anyone realizes: one for each elevator car, two for the fire alarm panel, a fax line nobody uses, a gate phone, a call box in the parking structure. TELMOVE finds every one of them, replaces the ones that matter and cancels the rest.
AT&T copper retirement in California
According to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), on May 20, 2026 AT&T applied to the FCC to discontinue its copper landline voice service in portions of 360 wire centers in California, affecting about 184,000 residential and 15,000 business customers by AT&T's count, on or after June 1, 2027. The CPUC publishes the list and map of the affected wire centers, and has challenged parts of AT&T's plans. The full background is in our article, POTS line sunset in Southern California.
