How Do I Connect VOIP Phone to Fios Digital Voice Landline Service?

I have a Shoretel 655 VoIP phone that I'd like to connect to my existing FiOS digital voice landline service. Is this possible? I have searched the Verizon website and can't find anything on this. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your IP phone should just start working when you connect it to your router. However I have seen setups where you have to get on the company’s VPN for the phone to work from home. Did you try troubleshooting with your company IT department?

Just connect it to the LAN port of your router.

Fios Digital voice isnt a true VOIP service. In your home the connections will be traditional phone jacks and require tradition phones.

I appreciate the suggestion, but unfortunately that doesn't work. I'm using a MI424WR router with 4 LAN ports. The phone will startup and go through its power cycle, but then says "No MGC IP configured". I was hoping that whatever it was looking for it would pull from Verizon through the router, but apparently not.

I understand my regular FiOS service is not VoIP. But i was wondering if it is possible to hook up a VoIP phone over FiOS to my regular landline network. Apparently it's not easy, if possible at all.

You can't connect a VoIP phone to the FiOS Digital Voice (FDV) service. The ONT serves as the VoIP endpoint for FDV. You can wire the ONT's analog phone output to as many analog phones as you'd like and they will be connected to FDV.

FDV has many services available through the web site, app and dial codes.

Why do you want to connect your VoIP phone?

Thanks for the info. It's an extra phone with nice features -- better than my landline phones -- and I am simply exploring options for using it.
