What is Lyra?
Lyra Voice Platform
Introducing Lyra
If you're on 2talk Plus, Lyra is where you're headed. It's the new home of the 2talk voice platform, and where all future development — including AI Voice features — will happen.
Transitioning from 2talk Plus
As 2talk Plus is phased out, all 2talk voice users will need to move to Lyra. Migration is currently an opt-in process, with graceful automated migrations to follow soon.
Any 2talk retail account can be migrated to Lyra. If you're on a Teams or BYOC trunk, please contact the support team for migration assistance. For other connection types, refer to our Migrating to Lyra article.
New accounts
From 15 April 2026, all new 2talk accounts are created on Lyra by default.
Check your platform
To find out which platform your account is on, log in to your 2talk account and open the Cloud PBX module. If you're on Lyra, you'll see the banner displayed below.

All end-user devices (phones or PBX systems) must be updated to point to the new SIP proxy: lyra.2talk.co.nz.
