Joining existing conversation on another handset

Post by jw56947 » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:46 am

I have 3 ooma Telo's. When my wife is on one extension and asks me to pick up another to join the call I push the green button and it asks if I want to join (on the screen) when I push the green button again it does nothing. I have been playing with this for some time and cannot get onto an existing phone conversation with another handset. :?

Push the left softkey instead of the green button when the question is asked.

Thanks for the info. I have tried everything inlcuding the soft key. Now the phone will not ring on an incoming call. When I pick up for an incoming call I cannot hear and I cannot speak yet it picks up the call from my cell phone and everything is dead. I have gone through the troubleshooting guide and I have checked everything on the menu carefully. I guess my 1 month old handset is bad. The other one I have works fine.

I answer my calls on a HD3 headset. I then try to join that call from a ATT wireless headset in another room connected via the Telo.
When I pick up the ATT phone I get a dial tone, not the conversation that is going on with the HD3. I have BASIC service with OOMA which does not include a second line. Any advice? Thank Paul

Try pushing the flash key on the AT&T phone.
