Another area facility with a lot of phone lines is switching to [url=http://www.fcc.gov/voip/]Voice Over IP telephone[/url].The Neillsville Board of Education decided to make the switch at their meeting on Monday night.
Superintendent John Gaier says they've decided to go with Charter Communications. They?ll maintain 4 analog lines coming into the building, but they?ll be able to eliminate 24 lines, each with a monthly fee.
The transition will cost around $44,000.
Clark County recently made a similar move. They were able to go from around 245 separate phone lines to just 15. They expect to save $3,700 per month.
