Hosted telephony service for schools utilises the latest cloud-based technology to provide schools and colleges with a cost-effective, reliable and flexible communications system to maximise functionality whilst minimising costs.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a great alternative to traditional landline phone services. Voice calls, video and data are all transmitted over the internet.

Landline phones are now being gradually phased out, so it is a good time for setting up your school’s system for better communications.

Our feature-rich hosted telephony solution is cost-effective, reliable and efficient. All of the hardware and software needed to run your school comms system is located off-site and maintained by us.
