All devices sold by Nextiva should be configured to auto-provision once assigned to a user; however, if you purchased your phone from a third-party vendor it may be configured for use with Skype for Business.  In this configuration, the device will not be able to properly provision to the Nextiva server.

The base profile can be changed from the phone menu or the web interface.
