New user, couple of questions

Just installed everything last night. Went without a hitch, except that I needed to run a phone line near my router and modem. No problem. I get the ooma dialtone.
I am porting my existing landline and I am temporarily connecting ooma to my landline, as opposed to having a temporary number. My current landline has very basic service - no voicemail, no call waiting, nothing. I tried testing the call waiting by placing an outgoing call, while also placing an incoming call from my cell phone. I just got a busy signal. Is that because I'm hooked in to my current landline and I can expect that until I cut service?
The sound quality seemed good, from what little I experienced it last night. I can't tell the differenceBut now I'm also wondering if this is hooked through my landline, do the calls get routed over the landline and am I going to see a difference once my landline service is disconnected?
