Those using the devices have been encouraged to get in touch with the Manx Telecom so action could be taken to make sure the services can continue.
Josh Radcliffe from the firm’s future read team said lift emergency lines, personal alarms, and care monitoring systems were “vital lifelines for many”.
It was important for customers to get in touch early to allow the time to “develop and implement the most suitable solution”, he said.

Other equipment that may be affected by the switch-off includes payment terminals and security systems.
