BizPhone orders cannot proceed unless these tests are completed, so it's important to get them done at your earliest convenience.

Once your BizPhone Connection test results have been checked, we'll contact you about the next steps for your BizPhone order.
Common issues that may delay your BizPhone order
The following issues must be addressed before your BizPhone order may proceed. If the BizPhone Connection Test identifies any of these issues, we'll contact you to discuss the matter and see if it can be rectified.
- SIP ALG Enabled: SIP ALG is a protocol that attempts to make VoIP packets flow smoothly. Some modems have this setting on by default and it will need to be disabled, with the tests rerun.
- Port Blocking: Port blocking will result in your BizPhone not operating, as it cannot communicate with the needed SIP servers. We will tell you which ports need to be open so you can make arrangements with your IT Support technician.
- Insufficient Speed/Quality: Internet issues may be present on the line and you should contact your Internet Provider to troubleshoot or see if more suitable internet technologies are available in your area.
