My School Phone
A VoIP phone just for schools with safeguarding security alerts, paging alerts and more.
National Switch to VoIP Deadline
The national withdrawal of traditional phone lines (the PSTN Switch-Off) is already underway and the entire country will need to switch to VoIP or lose access to a working phone service.
The withdrawal of PSTN phone lines has already begun and millions are already experiencing the benefits of VoIP. Because VoIP services run over the internet, no line rental is required, and call costs are significantly reduced – providing savings of up to 70%.
