What is WLR2 (Wholesale Line Rental 2)?
WLR2 (Wholesale Line Rental 2) is the BT Openreach wholesale product underneath nearly every analogue UK phone line, being withdrawn as part of the 2027 PSTN switch-off.
When WLR2 is withdrawn the underlying analogue line stops carrying calls. Replacing it with hosted VoIP (such as Silux Call) keeps your numbers and adds modern call features.
