Ring...ring...anybody?

Post by redial# » Fri Apr 17, 2009 6:59 am

I had to reset my ooma hub almost everyday this week, i know ooma has some problems, i understand.

but yesterday and today i had to rest the hub twice, tab is blue but vm doesnt pickup.

The phone will ring forever from the caller end, vm doesnt pickup, and if i am lucky to here the phone ring there will be noone at the other end.

I am at work and noone is home to reset the hub.

is this normal behaviour? is there a way to soft rest the hub through the dashboard?

Thanks

What do you have the ring set at in the Lounge? There is an adjustment in preferences.

Do you remember an approximate time that this happened?

False alarm, i found out that vonage disabled my call forwarding as i am waiting for my number to be ported. so all my calles were going unanswered
I loged in back to vonage and re-enable it. and everything is ok now.

Thanks again

I suggest that you might want to log back in to Vonage and disable the forwarding. It has been reported that special features being enabled can prevent the port from happening.

I had my Vonage line forwarded to ooma right up to the actual port.

Hello, sorry to bring this topic back to life, i had my number ported yesterday with no issues, took less than 3 weeks. bye bye vonage

The problem still exist, i can call out BUT i can't take a phone call.

I called csr, and the tech walked me through the steps of checking my wires, rebooting the system and so on. but no luck, she thought that maybe it has something to do with my porting process and suggested to wait for few hours and try again.

Well, as of this morning i still cant answer the phone, i will be calling the csr again to see why i am still having this problem.

My setup:
dsl(westell 6100) => ooma => directly to cordless phone

Somewhere in the forums someone else had this problem and I can't remember the fix. It had something to do with Vonage not clearing your number from some kind of database. You might want to check with Vonage. Sorry I can't remember, but I will keep looking.
