Connect any SIP phone.
Here's how to get the credentials.
To plug SoloDial into your phone system as a SIP extension, you need four things from your provider: an extension number, a SIP username, a SIP password, and a registration URL. Pick your provider below and we'll walk you through exactly where to click (or exactly what to ask support for).

Works for anyone not in the list above, or if the person you reach doesn't know what BYOD SIP is. Say it verbatim:
- Hi, I run a small business and I'm setting up a third-party AI receptionist that needs to register a SIP extension with your service.
- Can you confirm that my current plan supports remote SIP registration from a BYOD (bring-your-own-device) client?
- If it does, can you give me, or help me generate through the admin portal, the SIP registration URL, the extension's SIP username, and the extension's SIP password for ONE extension that I'll dedicate to this receptionist?
- Are there any IP allowlist settings or firewall rules I need to have you add so my SIP client can register from a cloud server?
- Is there a per-minute or per-channel charge I should expect for calls answered on this extension versus calls answered on your hosted phone?
