What Is POTS?

    POTS, or Plain Old Telephone Service, is also known as PSTN public switched telephone network. This term describes the standard telephone service which is the basic form of residential and small business phone service connection to the telephone network in most parts of the world.

    This name is a reflection of the telephone service still available after the advent of more advanced forms of telephony such as ISDN, mobile phones and VoIP.

    POTS has been available ever since the introduction of the public telephone system in the late 19th century. This service has been utilized in a form mostly unchanged to the normal user despite the introduction of touch-tone dialing, electronic telephone exchanges and fiber-optic communication into the telephone network.
