Poly/Polycom Phone Replacements
Is My Phone Eligible for Replacement?
If you’re having issues with your Poly (Polycom) device you may qualify for a replacement free of charge.
Poly offers replacement devices through its RMA (return merchandise authorization) program. This is a limited warranty that mostly covers manufacturer defects.
Before we can submit a request we must troubleshoot your device. Please contact our support team to get started.
RMAs may take a few business days to be approved

Rental phones have a long-term limited warranty and are generally within warranty

If the returned device is found to be in working order or the damage is not covered by warranty you may be charged for the replacement
Troubleshooting must be completed by Veracity’s support team
Additional troubleshooting may be requested by Poly
What Happens if the RMA Request is Approved?
If the request is approved, Poly will send you an email with more information. You will need this email so if you don’t receive it, please check your junk folder and call our customer support team if you still can’t find it.
Poly Will Ship You a New Phone
Now that Poly has authorized a replacement, they will send you a new phone via one of their shipping partners (usually FedEx or UPS). When you receive the replacement device, take it out of the box and contact our support team so we can walk you through setting it up.
DO NOT throw away the box, you will need it to return your defective phone.

Please ensure the RMA and part number are clearly marked on the outside of the box. (You can find this information in the email from Poly).
