When the lockdown call goes out, or every parent calls at once on a snow day, a school's phones, paging, and cameras have to work as one. True IP Solutions builds that as a single connected platform: phones, classroom and bell paging, mass notification, door access, and cameras, on one network and supported by one team.

School phone systems that fit how an office actually runs

The main line at a school rings differently than a sales line. At 6:45 a.m. on a snow day, every parent calls at once. During enrollment season, the questions never stop. Our hosted phone system is built for that pattern, with one platform across every campus in the district, managed centrally by your IT staff or by us.

Every system in the building, on one platform

Most districts buy each system from a different vendor, then spend years getting them to talk to each other. We put them on the same network and one support contract.

Compliance built into the install, not bolted on after

K-12 communication systems answer to a specific set of rules. We design to them from the start.

Kari's Law: anyone dials 911 directly from any school phone with no prefix, and a 911 call sends an on-site alert showing which room or wing placed it

Ray Baum's Act: 911 calls carry a dispatchable location down to the building and room so responders reach the right place inside a large campus

FERPA: call recordings, voicemail, and student data are handled with role-based access, encryption, and configurable retention set by the district

POTS replacement for life-safety lines meets or exceeds NFPA 72 and UL 864 and passes fire marshal inspection

Frequently asked questions

What does a VoIP phone system for schools include?

A school VoIP system from True IP Solutions covers desk and classroom phones, front-office call routing, overhead and classroom paging, bell schedules, and the option to add mass notification, door access, and cameras on the same platform. Everything runs on one network and one support contract.

Does the school phone system support Kari's Law and Ray Baum's Act?

Yes. Every phone can dial 911 directly with no prefix, a 911 call sends an on-site alert so the office knows which room placed it, and the call carries a dispatchable location down to the building and room for first responders.

Can you phase the project across a budget cycle?

Yes. We can scope the work in phases that fit your budget cycle and procurement limits, and document each phase clearly so it is straightforward to approve.

Can you replace the old analog lines for our fire alarm and elevator phones?

Yes. Our POTS replacement moves life-safety lines to a managed connection with battery backup and LTE failover that meets NFPA 72 and UL 864 and passes fire marshal inspection. Your existing alarm and elevator equipment stays in place.

Do paging, phones, and mass notification have to be separate systems?

No. We put paging, bell schedules, phones, and mass notification on one platform, so the system staff use every day for the lunch bell is the same one that sends an emergency alert. That is why it works when it matters.

Do you work with school districts outside North Carolina?

We are based in Hampstead, North Carolina, and we work with school districts, charter schools, and colleges across the United States, not only in North Carolina. Our customers include Cumberland County Schools, Pender County Schools, and Nash Community College, and we install and support systems for districts in states across the country.
