You mean after answering a call on the base there's no dialtone on the Linx?
Please specify "others".

Tom or other MODs would you please make sure that my system is optimized (qos, etc)? I briefly used the home port, but it is not in use now. The modem is plugged in directly to my router. Thanks.

I am having the same issues...phone worked fine until 4 days ago. Now it rings...I pick up and nothing. Eventually goes back to dial tone. What's up Ooma?

I have been having this same problem of calls going to voicemail when I answer and hearing no ring tone when placing a call. A restart of the Telo seems to fix the problem for a short time, but it always returns. Any help would be appreciated.

Past 30 days or so, i have calls going directly to voicemail...4 visits to chat and 3 with technical support have not solved the issue. Is there anything else to try?

I finally jumped into the forums to look into this problem, as it's been an ongoing issue at my house for several months. Can the QOS settings be set locally, or only by admins? I'd really appreciate being able to use my home phone again.
