You can, just not with house wiring. You just need to configure a Telo Handset as a "personal device" and then assign your second number to it, that way it will have it's own my.ooma login with separate voice mail and other features.
Thanks for the clarification. I was not sure exactly how that works.
But it seems to me there are two cases that need to be addressed separately by Ooma.
The first case is 2 lines, 2 phones. You have described how this is supported with the Telo handset.
The second is 2 lines, 1 phone. It is obviously possible that
each number can be handled
differently. Currently you can chose a specific ring pattern for each one. This should be extended to include other preferences such as call forwarding, blacklisting, voicemail settings, etc. IOW, any setting now supported should be available separately for each number.
I have 2 numbers and 1 phone. I want one number to always go to voicemail and not ring. I would also like to have the choice of a Calls Log for each number rather than just one combined list. This is nothing more than a routine software issue for heaven's sake!
So, to repeat my question ... Ooma, why don't you support individual Preferences for each line?
