POTS (disambiguation)
Plain old telephone service
Plain old telephone service, or POTS, is a term which describes the voice-grade
telephone service that remains the basic form of residential and small business service connection to the telephone network in most parts of the world. The 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. It has been available almost since the introduction of the public telephone system in the late 19th century, 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
public switched telephone network (PSTN).
