Good Afternoon. I know nothing, as will soon become apparent, about Ip phones. I purchased a CP 9971 from a private seller on ebay thinking it woudl be a great phone for my home office. I have Verizon Fios Internet and phone service, so I thought I could just plug and play this phone to my phone line. When I receive the phone I realize it has only two ports for plugging it in. One for Computer and the other for Network. I tried both of these with the Ethernet from my router but no luck. The phone reads Phone Not Registered. So the questions is........is there any way to make this phone work with Verizon Fios phone service? I thought Verizon used VOIP, but the phone is not registering.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.
