Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about education VoIP systems

What is VoIP and how does it differ from traditional phone lines?

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) uses your internet connection to make and receive calls, rather than traditional copper phone lines. This provides significant cost savings, more features, greater flexibility, and easier scalability. VoIP systems are cloud-based, requiring no on-site equipment, and can be accessed from anywhere.

Can we keep our existing school phone numbers?

Yes, absolutely. We handle the entire number porting process to transfer your existing phone numbers to the new VoIP system. This ensures continuity for parents and staff, and there's no downtime during the switch.

Is VoIP reliable enough for schools?

Yes, modern VoIP systems are extremely reliable with 99.9% uptime guarantees. We use enterprise-grade infrastructure with redundant systems and automatic failover. Many schools, colleges, and multi-academy trusts rely on VoIP for their critical communications.

How much does education VoIP cost?

Costs vary depending on the number of users and features required. Typically, VoIP systems cost £15-30 per user per month with all features included. This often represents significant savings compared to traditional phone lines, especially when factoring in call costs and maintenance. We offer education discounts for schools and colleges.

Can VoIP integrate with our MIS system?

Yes, we specialize in integrating VoIP with school management systems like SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom, and other MIS platforms. When a parent calls, their child's record automatically appears on screen, improving efficiency and service.

What happens if our internet goes down?

VoIP systems include automatic failover features. Calls can automatically reroute to mobile phones, other locations, or alternative numbers if your internet connection fails. This ensures your school remains contactable even during outages.

Do we need to buy new phones?

You can use desk phones, but they're optional. Most staff use desktop and mobile apps on their existing computers and smartphones. If you prefer physical desk phones, we can provide these as part of the installation.

Is call recording GDPR compliant for schools?

Yes, our VoIP systems include GDPR-compliant call recording with proper consent mechanisms, secure storage, encryption, and retention policies. This is essential for safeguarding and staff training purposes in educational settings.
