Multi-ring not working for Ooma to Ooma calls
I have enabled multi-ring, and it works perfectly to simultaneously ring my cell phone when I receive incoming calls at home, however, I'm finding that multi-ring does not work when the call originates from another Ooma phone number (my parents and in-laws both use Ooma, too).
Is this a known issue? If so, is there any timeframe for correcting it?
Feel free to contact me for further information if you need to know the specific phone numbers involved.
Thanks,
Vince

I believe I am having the same problem.
Re: Multi-ring not working for Ooma to Ooma calls
Multi-Ring doesn't call forward if the caller is an ooma phone number. I'll update the beta note with this limitation.
We're working on removing this limitation, but I don't have a time frame yet on when we'll see this fixed out in the field.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as Ooma to Ooma - but I noticed the same thing when I have Google Voice fwd all of its calls to my Ooma line, Ooma will not multi-ring my cell phone. If I call my Ooma line direct, it does. Is Ooma and Google Voice numbers the same bucket where it's restircted for multi-ring?
Re: Multi-ring not working for Ooma to Ooma calls
Any plans to remove this limitation soon ? I have convinced my mother and father in law to switch to ooma, 4 of my best friends, my wife's sister so by now most people are on Ooma. I would like this limitation to be gone. The more Ooma grows the more of a problem this becomes.
Re: Multi-ring not working for Ooma to Ooma calls
UNBELIEVABLE!! One of the biggest reasons i went with this product was to setup the multi ring. I've used it for almost 3 months with only a few glitches that were resolved. So i pitched it to my friends and they now have Ooma. And as you all know, now my muti ring is worthless to 90% of the people i talk to, so i have to give them each ALL of my numbers and they have to call around for me. And, the Ooma rep just told me she never heard of this and will bring it up in the next meeting! Isn't this thread like a year old? PATHETIC product that doesn't work as advertised! I'm hoping that i can refund from Costco before my 90 days, and YES i will be apologizing to my friends and work with them to refund too. Google Voice, Vonage, or Skype is now looking good!
Re: Multi-ring not working for Ooma to Ooma calls
sunfun, although I'd like Ooma to remove this limitation as well but I think you are being overly critical.
You are going to apologize to your friends for what? Not answering the phone every single time they call?
There are plenty of workarounds. You can hand out GV # or simply get your Ooma VMs forwarded to your cell. If your friends want to get a hold of you bad enough, they will leave a VM.

Re: Multi-ring not working for Ooma to Ooma calls
I'd like to echo SunFuns concerns. Switching to Ooma, I was really counting on multi-ring. A few of my important contacts are also Ooma customers, and since multi-ring doesn't work for calls originating from other Ooma numbers, it's not a feature I can count on. Given how old this thread is, I guess Ooma doesn't view this limitation as a big deal. But it's a problem for me.

Friends don't remember what Landline Integration was or why we did it.
