I have a temporary number that reads "Ooma Inc." Should my caller ID show up properly with my name when the Port takes place and match that of what's on the lounge?
Or will I have to call in and have this "fixed" after the port completes?

That's correct - after the port takes place, your caller name will be updated to your name (usually <LASTNAME> <FIRSTNAME>).

I have been trying for 2 months to get my second number to display my name instead OOMA, INC. but so far it's still wrong.

Let me take a look.

Same here. My only ooma number displays the number and city name since day one.

Excellent. Thanks for the response.

I'm a recent ooma convert using 2 phone numbers, hub and scout. I've been trying to get outbound caller ID correct for a while. After speaking with tech support my primary line now shows my name properly when calling out. However, my second phone number shows the name as "ooma" along with the number. Obviously, this is unacceptable for use with a home office.

I sent a followup email a few days ago with no response <yet>.

If any ooma support folks on this forum can help, it would be very much appreciated. If more info needed, please let me know.

Thanks!

Both of my numbers displayed "Ooma,Inc" for 3 weeks before I finally called them. The rep said he would escalate the problem and it was resolved within 2 days on both numbers. This was before my port had taken place. After the port, my ported number displayed my name immediately. On another note, I had another Ooma customer call me on my Ooma line within 3 hours of activating his service and his name showed up. Yet if he calls me on my land line, it still shows up Ooma, Inc.

Note: My land line has never been associated with my Ooma service.

I'd try giving a call to support - there should be very low wait times, compared to previous weeks. With recent staffing additions, the wait time had averaged less than 5 minutes, compared to 20-30 minutes during peak times that's been the case over the last couple months.

@jmassimilla

ooma-to-ooma calls will always show the caller-ID name associated with the account since we don't need to go out to the telecom carrier to retrieve the caller-ID name.

I took your advise Bobby and gave them the info. again. will see what happens. It is nice to see a company listen to their customers and make improvements from them. The wait times the last 3 times I have call were less than 4 minutes. Super job!
