Supported User and Room Phones

Dialpad provides configuration and provisioning support for many popular phones and room devices. If you are looking for instructions on how to set up a user with a desk phone or conference room phone please visit our set up a user desk phone or set up a room phone articles.

This article goes over sound devices and headsets that are supported by Dialpad’s desktop or browser app.

Let's dive into the details.

Difference between room and user phones

Room phones are perfect for shared company spaces such as conference rooms, reception areas, or phone booths. They are not associated with a user account.

User phones are desktop phones assigned to one of your team members. When their Dialpad number is called, that user's desk phone will ring.

Supported devices

Dialpad is compatible with a variety of devices, each offering different features.

For the best experience, ensure your device meets the recommended requirements and is running the specified firmware version.

Firmware guidelines

For optimal performance, we recommend using our recommended firmware. If you're experiencing issues, contact Customer Care before changing your firmware. Only make firmware changes if instructed by Dialpad's Technical Support team.

Note

Dialpad runs extensive quality assurance testing for all of our supported devices. If you're experiencing any issues, or have questions regarding firmware versions, please reach out to our Customer Care Team.

Select the manufacturer name below to view the list of compatible sidecar devices and their supported features.

Tip

You can connect multiple sidecars to your desk phone, starting with sequence number 1. 

Notes

Ensure the sidecar is installed ahead of registering the desk phone to a user or room phone.

If a sidecar is moved, its line key functions will adjust according to its new position.

Generic SIP registration 

Dialpad will provide SIP credentials that can be used with many different generic SIP devices. 

Dialpad is only responsible for validating that the registration credentials are still valid. Support for firmware or other functionality on the generic device must come from the device manufacturer. 

This solution is often used for IP based door bells, paging solutions (such as Algo) and others.

Note

Generic SIP devices don’t support E911 or international calling.

Activation

When phones are purchased from Dialpad, they come out of the box ready to be activated with Dialpad.

If a supported phone was purchased elsewhere, it can still be used with Dialpad, but additional setup steps might be required.

Be sure to read our Help Center articles for more information on Poly Obi or Yealink phones.
