Contacts from VoiceEdge not showing on Polycom phone

I've looked all over the forums for a resolution and haven't found one - VoiceEdge app on the computer shows a full contact directory.  The Polycom phone is empty with the only option to add a contact in the directory.

Is this set up done through the phone or through the VoiceEdge software?  Is there a check box or option in VoiceEdge to display the contacts in the directory area on the phone?

Hi, @user_7a8364 that is a great question! Your contacts would need to be added through the Polycom phone if you would like to access them there instead of the VoiceEdge app.

Wait, just so I understand, there is no way to import contacts into Polycom phones from Comcast/Xfinity voice edge?

user_08e9ea, Actually, we do have a way to create / import contact into your Business Voice Edge directory service online. Here's the step by step instructions: https://comca.st/3q0LWtG

@Comcast_JoeB these instructions are different than what I've seen previously. Are the name & number supposed to be in the same column of the .CSV file separated by "quotation marks", or should they be in separate columns?

user_08e9ea, You should use separate columns for the name and number (Name | Number) in the actual .CSV file.

@Comcast_JoeB unfortunately, this is also not working. Is there a phone number I can call to walk me through this process?

Is there any update on this? I called and support said contacts "should appear on the Polycom phone." However they still don't. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me that uploading the contacts via the online app don't appear on the Polycom. I get they appear on the mobile app, but that doesn't make any sense if you are in the office.

I would appreciate any updates.

Thank you.

Any updates on this topic? We are having the same issue, and we have well over 100 users in our company directory.

@DTW_user There's no option for this at this time. We recommend using the Comcast Business mobile app, and your saved contacts should display there.

Is there any usable shared Directory that can be entered / uploaded / displayed on the phone and shared with the entire company - even if it is a manual entry? I can place entries on my own desk phone, but they are not applied to any other desk phone.

DTW_user Excellent question! That could be quite a bit for a phone display. That's why we have the App, and portal. Not only does it allow for business contacts, but personal contacts as well. You've given me an idea to add to a possible change for the future. Are there any other questions or concerns I may answer for you today?
