As we dont get any VVX 250 OBi Editions here in Switzerland (sold out...) my question is if its possible to buy some VVX 250 Skype for Business Phones and convert them to OBi Edition ?

 

There's a manual available here. Removed by a moderator as not officially supported by Poly. Please purchase the correct handset

 

Does the "VVX 250 Skype for Business"  has the "Polycom UC Software" installed ?

Did somebody tried this with success ?

Thanks. From what I'm "reading between the lines"; it should work but its fully in our responsibility - no guarantee from Poly 😉

 

As its not our first phone firmware switch we'll take the risk and try it. Else we have a nice paperweight 😉

 

PS: We got the link from Google FAQs - https://support.google.com/a/answer/9250113?hl=en (thats fo r what we need the OBi Edition)
