A Smarter Way to Cut Costs

Our Unique Pricing Model:

Budget constraints are a major concern for schools, and traditional phone providers often make things worse by charging for every single handset—leading to unsustainable costs as your school grows.

At Digi Toolbox, we believe in fair, transparent pricing that works for schools, not against them. That’s why we’ve designed a pricing model for our Phones for Schools solution that keeps essential classroom communication free while ensuring your school only pays for what it truly needs. 

How we Help Schools Save More

FREE Licences for Classroom Handsets

Most providers charge for every handset, even those used for basic classroom communication. We offer FREE licences for classroom handsets with our Phones for Schools solution, ensuring teachers and staff stay connected without adding extra costs. This means more budget left for education, not phone bills.

Only Pay for Admin & Department Handsets

Instead of forcing you to pay for handsets that don’t require advanced features, our pricing ensures you only pay for the phones used in administrative offices, reception, and key departments. This targeted approach cuts out unnecessary expenses while still maintaining seamless communication across your school.

Scalable & Future-Ready

As your school grows, your communication needs will too. Unlike rigid traditional systems, our hosted VoIP solution scales with your school. Need to add more handsets? Expanding to a new building? Our system is designed to adapt effortlessly—without the heavy infrastructure costs.

What Happens When ISDN is Switched Off?

The ISDN and PSTN switch-off is fast approaching. By December 2025, BT will have completely phased out these legacy networks, meaning schools still relying on traditional phone lines will need to transition to a digital solution.

Why Does This Matter for Schools?

Many schools in the UK still use outdated ISDN or PSTN phone systems, which were designed decades ago and are no longer fit for modern communication needs. The switch-off means these systems will no longer function, leaving schools without a working phone system unless they upgrade in time.

The Risks of Delaying Your Upgrade

Waiting until the last minute could leave your school in a difficult position:

Service Disruption

Without a new solution in place, your phone lines could suddenly stop working, affecting communication with parents, staff, and emergency services.

Higher Costs

A rushed switch can lead to expensive emergency solutions and unnecessary costs for last-minute installation.

Limited Options

As demand increases closer to the deadline, providers will be busier, and your school may have fewer choices when selecting a new system.
