Set Up Your GFiber Phone

Follow these steps to install your GFiber Phone. You’ll connect your phone box to your router, connect your phone to your phone box, plug your phone box to power, and set up your voicemail.

Your GFiber service must be installed and active before you can install GFiber Phone service. If you've already self-installed GFiber Phone at your current address and you're moving to a new address where GFiber service is available, you can move your existing phone equipment to your new location and install it there.

Quick Setup Guide

Total setup time: about 5–10 minutes.

To install your GFiber Phone Box:

Verify the GFiber network status.
Connect the Phone Box to the router via Ethernet.
Connect the telephone to the Phone Box.
Power on the Phone Box.
Configure voicemail and advanced settings.

What’s in Your Self-Install Kit

Open your self-install kit and confirm you have everything:

GFiber Phone Box (Model GFPB100 or GAPB110P)
1 Ethernet cable
1 power adapter

Step 1: Check Your GFiber Network

Confirm that your router is fully connected and your GFiber internet service is active and functional before continuing.

Step 2: Connect Your Phone Box

Locate the provided Ethernet cable from your kit.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Phone Box.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an open port on your router.

Note: If your router lacks a spare Ethernet port, you can use an external Ethernet adapter or network switch.

Step 3: Connect Your Phone

Locate your existing telephone cable.
Connect one end of the telephone cable to your phone.
Connect the other end to the port labeled for the phone on the GFiber Phone Box.

Step 4: Connect the Power Adapter

Plug the provided power adapter into the GFiber Phone Box.
Plug the opposite end of the power adapter into a standard electrical power outlet.

Step 5: Set up Your Voicemail

Your voicemail box is automatically generated upon GFiber Phone service activation. You must set a secure Personal Identification Number (PIN) during your first login.

Method A: Set up PIN by Phone

Troubleshooting Tip: If you forget your custom PIN, navigate to the Voicemail Box Details section of the GFiber Phone portal to reset it back to 1234.

Lift the receiver and dial *98.
When prompted, enter the default PIN 1234 followed by the # key.
Follow the automated voice prompts to create a new secure PIN (minimum of 4 digits).

Method B: Set up via Google Voice

If dialing *98 fails, your service may be managed through Google Voice. Use these alternative steps:

Sign in to the Google Voice platform using your GFiber Phone account credentials.
Navigate to the top right corner and click Settings.
Select the Voicemail & Text tab.
Locate the Voicemail PIN field, enter your new PIN, confirm it, and click Save changes.
To access your voicemail moving forward, dial *99 from your GFiber Phone.

Step 6: Set Advanced Settings

Sign in to your online GFiber account using your email and password.
Select Phone from the primary navigation menu to access your phone dashboard.
