Seems VoIP gets a bad reputation not because it's a bad product, but few how to implement correctly.
You IPT provider should know how to set up DHCP for a voice network, and do it in conjunction with your existing network. If they do not offer any assistance or guidance in this then I do suggest finding another provider.

If your network supports VoIP deployments (Layer 3, PoE, QoS etc) then likely you can set up DHCP relay (or bootprelay or IP Helper depending on your network equipment) and just build a second scope for the voice network on your existing DHCP server.
