Updated: 05/23/2024

Objective

In order to work on the 8x8 service, these phones will need to:
  1. Be supported models on compatible firmware.
  2. Have a valid factory-installed device certificate.
  3. Have our server address programmed in so they can reach our servers. The server address will be found in the article linked below for manually configuring that particular make/model of phone.
Before you try to activate your phones on 8x8 service, make sure the model and firmware are supported. For information on firmware, see What is the recommended firmware for 8x8 phones and analog adapters?
Once you have confirmed that your device is compatible with the 8x8 service, follow the guides below to configure it to use our service.
