Polycom from 8x8 to OBI

Anonymous · ‎01-28-2015

I just switched my service from 8x8 to using the OBI Talk and now have a nice phone, polycom soundpoint ip 550, that was sold to me for use with 8x8 but would like to use it with my new system.

My question is can I do that and if so how?

Thanks for any guidance.

Hello hoosierlacrosse,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

You need to ensure that 8x8 if you purchased the phone outright reset's any changed Admin Passwords as otherwise you will not have access to any of the Admin Menus.

You will also need to check if your new Provider supports Polycom Phones

A simple instruction within community's VoIP FAQ contains this post here:

Oct 7, 2011 Question: Can I register or is my Polycom Phone compatible with a “XYZ” SIP Server?

Resolution: Please check => here <=
