Poly (Plantronics + Polycom) Polycom® VVX® 250

Phone works great but it does take some tech know how to set up. I needed the OBI version for Google voice (not the version I got). I connected the phone to my network download the software and pushed it through to the device. Works great on Google voice (business)!

Business only phone will not work in a home. Only connects to a computer, cannoy use standard jack for a POTS or VOIP service. Also if the computer connection does not have enough power, the power supply is seprate and extra.

I see many struggle to find the admin password, here's what worked for me: 1) Turn on the phone ( you will need o source POE power or a power supply) 2) Click the Home key 3) Select Settings 4) Note the IP address under the Network option 5) Enter that number into the browser on a computer in the same network 6) You should get a username / password prompt 7) enter admin for both username and password 8) You're in! I was also able to unlock admin services in the settings menu using the password 'admin'. Watch the mode button to be sure you're entering what you think you are. Hope this helps! Very clean phone, seems brand new. But mine is an OBI version phone, which is not supported by either of the VOIP services I am considering. This was not mentioned anywhere in this product description. Will be returning.

I bought three Poly VVX 250 phones from Amazon for the business I manage with the intent of manually provisioning them for our VOIP provider, something I have done at least a dozen times before. These phones were new, and arrived sealed in a box. However, they were originally sold to a phone service provider and were pre-provisioned by Poly for that company and secured with a password. So they have a password already set and they will not respond to a factory reset. So you cannot actually use these phones unless you find and use the original customer's phone service. What a waste of time! Poly recommends buying their phones only from authorized distributors just for this reason.

Works good . Used with ring central called them easy set up. Listing was not clear if it had a power plug… it is not included. My biggest complaint over all very lightweight. Would work better as a wall phone over desk phone.

Nice phone, function and quality sound. Does not come with Power Supply so that needs to be purchased separately.

No where on the product description, does it say that you need to purchase a power source, nor does it give you an option to purchase the power source from the seller. You get a phone expecting to be able to hook it up and use it, but its extremely irritating to have to waste more time and order a power source. Very dishonest product description. Others noted item works for a short time and then stops as in my case. 40 days and it dies not work anymore

Two things that are absolutely rediculous. It may be an IP phone, but most connections do not provide power, so you'll need to buy the power transformer seperately. Also, the phone will require an Admin Password that they do send you. I spent an hour on the phone trying to obtain the password, just to set up the phone! So you don't have to waste your time... When you are asked for an admin password: *Enter 456, then press the down arrow *Enter your new password, press the down arrow *Re-enter your new password *Press Enter

Works really well with SipGate interface.

Used

Purchased a phone as replacement for a faulty deskphone - but found this has been locked to a supplier by Poly. No way of changing the provisioning server.

I ordered this phone to work from home. To set it up, you need to enter an activation code. Emailed the vendor via Amazon - no response.

No PSU supplied. Usually on Amazon the item clearly says no PSU in the description.
