Turn of ring during night time

[jhsanchez]

It seems that spammers who spoof their caller ID are calling later than I'd like. Is there anyway to block ALL calls during certain hours? It would sure make a wonderful feature. My Panasonic DECT phones can do that but I'd prefer to do it with the OOMA.
Thanks

Do Not Disturb is an Ooma Premier feature. If you have Premier you can turn on DND so you won’t be disturbed by phone calls while DND is active. Note though that the call will be directed to Voicemail, so the caller may leave a message.

I do not have the ooma telo handset and would like to do this via the OOMA dashboard. Thanks anyway

Just FYI, as an option, you don’t have to have a Telo Handset to do this. You can do this on the Telo core unit (per the instructions in the link I provided). You might also be able to use DND via my.ooma but I have not checked. If not, I’d like to think it should be possible to do a re-program by Ooma (IMO).

I’ve done it via the core unit when I’ve needed to in the past, but it is nice to now be able to do it on my (newly purchased) HD3s. YMMV.

Good luck!


P.S. Way back in 2009 when I got my first Ooma core I was asking for the capability to automatically set daily/weekly/14 day windows for DND to be active for the very reason you’ve mentioned. Never got my wish ...

Thanks, I understand that it can be done on the telo BUT it is a manual process. What I would desire it that it be on a schedule like my cell phone. For example, between 9pm and say 6am, set DND mode.
