Can I Change Telo Handset Name?

Post by GregH » Sat Jan 21, 2012 9:26 am

I would like to change the Telo Handset name to something more descriptive than "Handset 1." I traversed the menu options and did not see an option to change the name. Can I change the handset name?

Why can't the handset name be changed? On the Quick Start Guide it shows "Living Room", so that leads me to believe that it is something that can be customized.

Go to your my.ooma, click on Preferences, then on Phone Numbers. You can then click on the device and an edit box will open. You can change the name and then save.

The names are changed under "devices" (rather than "preferences") with the current "myooma"

My SIL set up my system and he put in a name that people see when I call that I don't like. I see your instructions on how to change. Sorry for being so stupid but do I change this on the headset ? Thanks in advance.
