But what if you already have VVX x50 Series phones? Can you use them with Google Voice by G Suite?
Yes. But you need to convert the phone to the OBi Edition software first. (Note: Support for VVX 150 is forthcoming. It is not yet supported.)
How to Convert Polycom VVX 50 Series Phone to OBi Edition Software
Here’s how you do it:
- Find the IP address of the phone
- Go to Settings > Status > Network > TCP/IP Parameters, or
- Press and hold 1, 4, and 7 simultaneously
- Enter the phone’s IP address in a web browser to open the phone’s port site
- Select Admin as the login type
- The default password is 456
- Go to Utilities > Software Upgrade
- Under Server Type, select Custom Server
