Abstract

A computer-implemented method to provide voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP) credentials to a device may include receiving, at a system, first credentials from a device. The method may also include authenticating the device using the first credentials and after authenticating the device, obtaining, at the system, a device identifier for the device based on the first credentials. The method may further include establishing a connection between the system and a VoIP system configured to provide VoIP services and after establishing the connection, providing, from the system, the device identifier to the VoIP system. The method may also include receiving, at the system, VoIP credentials for the device. In some embodiments, the VoIP credentials may be configured to authenticate the device with the VoIP system such that the device is able to receive the VoIP services from the VoIP system. The method may further include providing the VoIP credentials to the device.
