I would expect that Ooma have engineers on call for these sorts of issues, but obviously it's bad timing what with their shoestring budget and the fact that it's a holiday weekend.

Still, this is the type of situation where you wake people up, interrupt their vacation, etc, to get things sorted out.

I've been down now for several hours.

I would recommend that Ooma put a "network status" icon on their home page to alert their customers to situations like this.

Yeah probably the SIP... A network status message would be good too..

Down in Los Angeles too.

Let's hope this is a temporary and unique situation.

This has never happened in the five months I've had my hub. I just rebooted here at 11:10pm and it still did not connect. Oddly I'm not frustrated or mad or anything because I have my cell phone; I suppose. I'm willing to put up with growing pains because when it works it's a dream. Sadly perfect timing ha!

I've emailed tech support, as I'm sure a billion other people have, and I'm sure they have someone working on it. I suspect the lights are probably blinking on Andrew's as well, then again the guy probably has his own server just for him! LOL Imagine you're an ooma employee or technician and you look over at your box, see the blinking lights on Christmas Eve.. What's your reaction?

Wisconsin reporting in. We're down too, looks like Ooma is giving us all a proverbial lump of coal for Christmas...

Same symptom as everyone else, flashing red service light and lights 1 and 2 are lit.

Same problem here in metro St. Louis. Ooma hub and scouts connecting intermittantly (sometimes blinking red, sometimes solid blue). No problems with my home internet and no problems connecting to https://www.ooma.com. While the ooma hub was blinking red I did what troubleshooting I could. Pressing the tab caused the 1 & 2 buttons to light in "diagnostic" mode. Nothing in their documentation to say what the results of diagnostic mode signify.

I rebooted the hub, now it won't connect. Red tab flashing, and 1 & 2 on solidly, which the documentation DOES say means that the hub cannot connect. (One can assume that this is the same meaning as when in the "diagnostic" display, but the User Guide really should spell that out.) 11:00pm CST Dec 24. The Forum Status message says everything is OK.

Could it be the network we're on? I'm using Comcast in Virginia. I would have imagined if this was a larger outage that more people would be commenting, but it's just a few. Also mine was working perfectly UNTIL I rebooted. So it's either a server like voip ninja suggested or perhaps a service provider.

Thoughts?

Anybody know some of the ooma auth servers we could ping?

That's not an unreasonable question, if there's a problem between Comcast and whichever ISP Ooma is on.

It's also possible that Ooma is in the processing of upgrading, cutting over their service to a new ISP, etc.

OK, finally back up, 11:50PM Mountain Time.

I'm up again, also, and have been for at least an hour, since 1am CST. Maybe longer. I wasn't watching that closely. Btw, I'm on Charter Cable in St Louis County.
