can't turn off call anonymous caller blocking

I can't turn off anonymous caller blocking. I have unchecked the boxes and saved, but anonymous callers continue to get sent to VM. What's wrong?

Wait 5 minutes to have the change take.

I did it a week ago and it hasn't taken effect yet. Do I need to reboot the Ooma to make it take?

Do you get other calls come through? To debug, change the treatment from "send to voicemail" to "blocked message" and see.

I read elsewhere that sometimes you need to reboot the Ooma for changes to take effect, so I just did that and it worked! :D
