OOMA Dial Tone
The dial tone drives me up the wall but I've learned to pick the phone up and dial before I up it to my ear. But what I don't like you hear it again when the call is answered. But I'm saving so much money on my home phone and my family plan on the cells I've just learn to deal with it. But I do wish that they would get rid of the OOMA dial tone.

You can get rid of the connection tone (the one when call is answered) through the lounge.
Re: OOMA Dial Tone
The one that you "hear again" when the call is answered can be disabled in the ooma lounge. I have disabled mine, since it is only useful on the integrated landline feature.tjackson wrote:The dial tone drives me up the wall but I've learned to pick the phone up and dial before I up it to my ear.

Re: OOMA Dial Tone
At first, I found the the OOMA dial tone to be very strange, but now I kind of like it.
In all seriousness though, I think it should be an option. Not everyone is going to like it, so I don't see why there shouldn't be an option of having a normal tone.

Re: OOMA Dial Tone
Did someone honestly write "something less gay"?
It's 2009, man. Come on.

I wrote that. Do you know the dictionary definition of gay? There are other meanings in case you don't know. I just don't like the tone trying to be too cute.modularlife wrote:Did someone honestly write "something less gay"?

Sure. I'm sure the poster meant no offense. In many cultures it is still used to convey levity. From dictionary.com:modularlife wrote:Did someone honestly write "something less gay"?

Friends don't remember what Landline Integration was or why we did it.

Same here. (At least after I disabled the Ooma Connection tone... now that was annoying.)scottlindner wrote:Getting back to the original discussion. I have grown to like the Ooma Dial Tone. It's the sound of freedom.
