INFORMATION on the new VoIP phone system
Cypress Fairbanks ISD is converting to a new Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone system. Running over the
district's network, the unified phone system is designed to connect you with colleagues across the CFISD district
and local communities around your campus. This new robust platform has many new features and includes
enhanced functionality. As a result of the changes and to accommodate the new features, dialing plans have
changed. (See below for additional information)
