Calls to landline number when new Ooma number selected?
Posted: Tue Dec 09, 2008 10:02 am
Hi. I just installed my Ooma hub last night and have a question. I have an existing landline and selected a new number for the Ooma.
I attached the Ooma as follows: I disconnected the phone line from my home phone and connected it to the "wall" port of the Ooma. I then connected the phone to the "phone" port of the Ooma.
I can now make Ooma calls using the phone. I can also receive calls on the Ooma number. I cannot, however, receive calls made to my landline number on the phone connected to the Ooma. The phone does not ring. Other phones on another outlet (same phone line), not connected to the Ooma, will ring.
Is this expected behavior? Or should a phone connected to Ooma ring for calls made to the Ooma number as well as the landline number?
Thanks.
Albert
