Apple Watch support

[Falc0n]

I’d like to see direct support for wearables such as the Apple Watch. Obviously not expecting all the features that Ooma has, but at least basic functionality to handle phone calls and voicemail capabilities. I don’t believe Ooma should be depending on a third party (IFTT) to provide this service. First, phone features exist through Apple, so the capability exists. Second, extra parties involved increase opportunities for service failure, and also requires additional account(s) and introduce unnecessary policy/privacy concerns.

Wearables are here and growing and, IMO, Ooma needs to directly support them.

Yes! I agree!
Please add calling capability from Apple Watch. I have the Series 4 Cellular LTE. My company doesn't allow international calls from my mobile account. I use ooma for international calls and this would be a huge benefit since I often leave my phone off to reduce distractions.

Making a call from apple watch with airpods is a satisfying experience that should not be reserved just for the mobile carrier users. By adding this capability to ooma, users can enjoy this feature and save money. In order to truly be an alternative for verizon, at&t and others, ooma should add this feature.
Thanks!

And I also agree. I am a long time Ooma user, and for several years I have used Ooma Premier to forward all my Ooma calls to my iPhone so that I can receive them when I am out of the house. I do not use my iPhone telephone number for incoming calls, just the Ooma number, it keeps things simple. Two days ago I purchased an Apple watch so that I could stop carrying the iPhone everywhere, and to my total surprise I found that the Ooma Premier calls did not ring on the watch -but the same calls did ring on the iPhone (as before). Of course, this was a huge disappointment. It is time for Ooma to update and get with the program. GF

Can't you go to myooma and go to Preferences > Call Forwarding and select to ring your iPhone number and set to always?

All calls will then be forwarded to your watch in addition to your Telo (if you want).

Of course you can't initiate ooma calls, but at least can receive them.
