Hi,

 

We acquired several hundred of VVX phones and i'd like to open few cases on issues we have. But it seems it's impossible to do that through the web. When i enter the serail number of the phone, nothing happens.

Don't tell me we have to do that over the phone, we are in 2015 !! 🙂

 

Thanks

Hello StephenR,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

Usually when adding the MAC address and pressing lookup a short animation should appear and then below the initial field this:

 

click here if you are the owner of this product or click here if you are creating a Service Request on behalf of an end customer.

 

  • Does this not show up for you?
  • What browser are you using?

No it doesn't show up. I tried both IE 10 and Chrome.

Serial number for VVX is the MAC address right ? This is what i have on the box.

Hello StephenR,

 

I am unsure but maybe because you are an end customer you are unable to do this ?

 

Please post the MAC of the phone in question so I can look up the reseller who can do this for you.

My reseller is a global reseller (Zones) and they have no clue about what a VVX phone is except the price...

It's not a bad comment, just the truth and they are just a good at what they need to be, but have clearly no expertise at all about VoIP.

If we have to follow the same process as the new feature request, i'm afraid we'll get the same result (i.e. no result at all).

I believe this system works well when you have a reseller who is also a VoIP specialist but most of the companies are going through global resellers which are not and definitely can't handle this.

I understand your point but you have to be realistic about what your customers are.

Just my two cents of course, just a freindly comment in order for you to improve your services.

 

Thanks

Hello Stephen,

This VVX600 was sold via Scansource Communication in September 2015 and they are able to raise a Polycom support ticket for yourself.

Geez, i don't know who is ScanSource communication but they definitely did not sell us these phones. We acquired all our phones through Zones.

I guess it's just a good illustration of how bad is this support model 🙂

Hello Stephen,

Polycom has historically always sold via resellers and these selected resellers are qualified to assist customers in a first level capacity and can open support tickets for their customers with Polycom support.

 

The company you purchased the units from must have received the phones from Scansource and should refer you to Scansource.

 

This works for the millions of customers using Polycom products and I can only ask you to follow this up with Scansource directly as they will have a record of your MAC address.

If you have a problem with this business model, please open a case with your Polycom reseller! 😛
