What is the difference between analogue and digital lines?
Analogue telephone lines transfer sound as electromagnetic waves, whereas digital lines sample sound waves and translate them into bits (zeros and ones) to approximate the original wave shape. Digital data can be processed and stored more efficiently, giving you direct dial facilities, call diversion or transfer to external destinations and direct transfer of customer database details to your PC. A digital line also allows a large network of users to share a ‘pool’ of lines, reducing wastage and costs.
