the number you have dialed is unallocated - No Incoming Call

Post by AppleTree » Wed Apr 20, 2011 6:03 am

Date: 20 April 2011

Dear Ooma Support,

We are not receiving any incoming calls again. Callers get this message when they dial our Ooma number - "the number you have dialed is unallocated". We can make outgoing calls on the number though.

This is the second time in a month this has been an issue. My area code is 540.

Last time, no one responded to my support requests, can someone please respond this time :?:

I called Ooma support today but the message states you are not open till 9AM Pacific standard time.

See my previous thread on the issue here from 23 March 2011 : viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11179&start=0

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, calls are still not working inbound.

Why is this becoming a routine issue? Any ideas? The last time I was told on the phone that phone number databases where not loaded properly into the carriers. As a result, my phone number did not exist.

I'm having the same problem with incoming calls. I talked to customer service when they opened this morning, but still not fixed. I had the same problem on March 23rd.

Well, its now 7:14 PM EST on 20 April 2011 and still no service for incoming calls.

Only Ooma calls make it through, ATT, Verizon, Virgin Moibile, etc get the error message.

The last time I heard from customer support via email on this issue was almost 12 hours ago. Basically a form email.
Thank you for contacting Ooma Customer Care.

We suggest that you test the number again within the next 24-48 hours so we may run a trace on the said phone calls and compare them with the samples that were already provided.

Did you provide phone numbers that you are having problems with, date(s) and time(s) of call(s), so that Ooma Support can run a trace on them. The dates must be within only a recent short period of time.

Yep. I documented that in my email.

It's not my problem per se. It's Ooma's problem.

A carrier issue has led to inbound call failures for some customers. We're working the issue, but report any issues to customer service.
26 Feb 10 via TweetDeck

This has happened to many other customers as well if you do a forum search and has some thing to do with phone number databases not being loaded as far as I was told.

Basically, my number and many others in this geographic region were delisted. So when someone calls you, they get an error message that the phone number does not exist.

This is frightening from a public safety issue for families and 911. Luckily, we have a cell phone back up.

And again like last time. No mention of the service issue on http://twitter.com/#!/ooma_status or
