How To
Common Tasks
Step-by-step instructions for the most common phone operations.
Check & Set Up Voicemail
- 1Press the Message button on the handset, or dial 5001, then follow the voice prompts.
- 2The default voicemail PIN is 1234 — you'll be prompted to change it and record your greeting.

- 4Prefer the web? Log into talk.simplefiber.com and open the Messages tab to listen to, download, delete, or forward your messages.
Send Voicemail to Email
- 1Voicemails can be emailed to you so you can listen on your computer or smartphone.
- 2Turn it on in the portal at talk.simplefiber.com under Voicemail > Email Notification.
- 3We recommend the "Send w/ attachment, move to trash" option so each voicemail emails to you and clears off the handset.
Transfer a Call
- 1Blind (unannounced): press the Transfer button, enter the extension or a 10-digit number, then press Transfer again or hang up to complete.
- 2Attended (announced): press Transfer, enter the number, wait for them to answer so you can announce the call, then press Transfer again or hang up to complete.

- 2To park: press the * (asterisk) button three times. The system tells you which park queue the call is in.
- 3To pick up: from any phone, dial the park queue extension (701, 702, or 703) and press Send.

Troubleshooting
Common Issues & Fixes
Try these solutions before calling support.
No dial tone / phone won't register
Check that the Ethernet cable is firmly connected to the LAN port on the phone and the wall jack or switch. Verify the phone has power (screen should be lit). Try rebooting the phone by unplugging the Ethernet cable for 10 seconds and reconnecting. If the phone still shows 'No Service' or fails to register, contact SimpleFiber support — we may need to re-provision your phone.
Poor call quality / choppy audio
First, run a speed test at fast.com on a computer connected to the same network. If speeds are low, the issue may be your internet connection. Make sure the phone is connected via Ethernet (not WiFi) for best quality. Check that no one is running large downloads or uploads during calls. If the issue persists, contact us — we can prioritize voice traffic on your connection.
Can't hear the other party / one-way audio
Reboot the phone by unplugging the Ethernet cable for 10 seconds. Check that you're not on mute (mute icon on screen). If using a headset, make sure it's properly connected and the audio path is set to headset. If the problem continues, contact support — it may be a network or firewall issue.
Phone keeps rebooting or restarting
Check your Ethernet cable — a loose or damaged cable can cause power cycling on PoE phones. If using a power adapter, make sure it's the original Yealink adapter (third-party adapters can cause issues). If connected through a PoE switch, verify the switch provides enough power. Contact support if reboots continue.
Voicemail not working
Try dialing 5001 directly to reach your voicemail. Make sure your voicemail PIN is set (the default is 1234). If calls aren't going to voicemail, make sure call forwarding isn't on — dial *73 to disable it — or review your answering rules at talk.simplefiber.com. Contact support if you need your voicemail box reset.
Handset says 'Searching' or won't pair with base
Press and hold the pairing button on the base station for 5 seconds. On the handset, go to Settings > Registration > Register Handset. Power cycle both devices if needed.
