This setting is not pushed to the telo because it's a server setting, so it takes effect pretty much immediately.

As the OP on this one, I just want to say that it's great to make this available to everyone on MyOoma. Thanks very much for doing this.

Can you check what was the recorded duration for the voicemail in My Ooma?

Sorry but it's gone. I'll run some more tests...

I know this forum topic is old, but please set my account to automatically delete any voice mails that are 4 seconds long or shorter. Thanks in advance.
