How to program cell phone as an extension

If you configure automatic provisioning with Grandstream Wave and something is not working right please call Dave from another phone other than your cell phone. I’ll need a screenshot of your configuration but I can help troubleshoot most basic issues.

Just be sure not to configure a softphone with the same extension as a deskphone while both devices are connected to the internet. You can dial 611# from any desk phone and follow the prompts to sign out the desk phone before launching the softphone.

If you are on the Unlimited Plan you can request free softphone extensions for all your staff members as long as they have an active desk phone. If you would like to request some free extensions for your desk so you do not need to sign out of the desk phones please call me at your leisure. My contact information and hours are found in my signature below.
