I am running it wireless if that makes a difference. Can't see that it would since I can get through on my cell. Thanks!

First:
If you are getting a fast busy signal, wait a little longer. For some people, if they wait a little longer while listening to the busy signal, suddenly the call will go through.

Second:
A while back some one else posted with the same problem. He found out later that his work place some how blocked his calls to his Ooma phone, and after his IT department added his number or made some changes, he had no more problems.

Thanks! I'll try those suggestions and see what happens.

Having this problem today after a couple of years of no issues:

I cannot receive calls - goes directly to Vmail, but no Vmail is actually recorded.
Call logs show calls as missed calls with no caller ID info.
I can make calls and that works fine.

I have power-cycled my ooma box and scout - doesn't help....

Is your envelope key red?
Push and hold until it turns off.

Mystery solved - Cell Phone was powered down and since I have ooma setup to ring both local and cell simultaneously, if the cell is off, it goes directly to CELL PHONE VMail, not ooma - odd, but there it is.

Did not know about the "envelope" DND feature - cool.
