Instantly add devices to an account and assign them to Users from the Nextiva Voice Admin Dashboard. Purchase devices directly from Nextiva or bring your own SIP-enabled devices. Devices purchased from Nextiva are automatically added to the account, so you only need to assign them to Users. However, non-Nextiva devices must be added to the account before assigning it to a User. Also, the phones must be provisioned for use with Nextiva Voice. For information on provisioning non-Nextiva devices, click here.

NOTE: Adding a new device to the account requires an available line of service, a hard-wired Internet source, and access to an electrical outlet (Phones with a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) switch do not require a power cord). 

Select one of the options below to get started!

Importing Multiple Devices to an Account

From the Add Devices page > Import Multiple Devices > Download XLS/CSV Template > Upload Complete Template.
