When attempting to set up or provision a phone to your Nextiva account, there are a few things that could affect the device from correctly auto-provisioning to our service.

 

If the phone does not provision correctly, here are some things to check:

 

  • Does the account have the correct MAC address for the device?

  • Does the account have the correct device type?

  • Is the device assigned to a user on the account?

  • Is the Server Address entered correctly?

    • No typos

    • No spaces at the beginning or end

  • Adjust the DNS Server

    NOTE: Nextiva recommends using Google's DNS servers of 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to ensure addresses resolve quickly
