Busy Redial

[roadshow]

I'm not sure what this feature was called when I had Frontier. If I dialed a number and it was busy, it would continue to retry calling that number until the line was free, my phone would then ring, when I picked it up it would connect me to the other party. Great feature.

Hello,

Yes, a nice to have feature! Will forward on as an enhancement request.

Thx

Please add me to the list of requestors for this feature. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to implement! FWIW, I am a Premier subscriber.

Happy Holidays!

wait... FOUR YEARS ago, and this still has not been implemented?!?! Come on ooma! :-/

I think most of us would like this feature; years ago there used to be a hardware product called Demon Dialer that would do this for any line it was connected to.

Pretty useful when calling lines that don't roll over to voicemail.

Also useful for customer service lines that are always busy. I hate having to flash..redial ...flash... redial... flash...redial. This feature is available on most other phone services. I also had 3-way calling with Roadrunner phone service, and I did not need a second line to use it.
I don't understand why OOMA seems to miss the simple stuff sometimes.

Any updates on this? This would be an extremely useful feature.

I know most other service providers use *66 to activate this after receiving a busy signal and it will continue to try dialing the number for 30 minutes.

I haven't heard a busy signal in 10 years. Everyone has Call Waiting and then to voice mail.

It might be useful if someone has grandparents with just a bare bones POTS line and they are on the phone a lot. But almost everyone else has a cell phone or VoIP line with voice mail.

it helps when you're trying to call a busy pizza place
