How do I get my calls to stop saying Ooma in the receiver's caller ID? I'm getting tired of explaining it to everyone.

Actually, I think VicMatson is talking about CallerID when they call other people - it shows "Ooma Inc." on the receivers Caller ID... Is this correct correct VicMatson?VicMatson wrote:How do I get my calls to stop saying Ooma in the receiver's caller ID? I'm getting tired of explaining it to everyone.

Sorry, away for the holiday, but yes(it shows "Ooma Inc) that is what bothers me. My port happens on 12/01/09 so I'll see if it persists.hpepper wrote:Actually, I think VicMatson is talking about CallerID when they call other people - it shows "Ooma Inc." on the receivers Caller ID...

If so, you have to call Ooma Customer Service.
On the other hand, timzebra is probably talking about the Ooma dial tone - that is, when they pick up the receiver to make a call, they here Ooma music at the beginning of the dialtone - That cannpt be changed. It is there mainly to remind you if you are on the Ooma line vs. an integrated line - so you can tell which one. it also reminds you you are making a free call.
You can actually start dialing as soon as you pick up the receiver - you don't have to wait for the music to change to dialtone before starting to dial.
When your port is completed, yes it will change. But, it may not be instant. Sometimes after the port it takes a day or two. It will be your name then. That's how mine was.VicMatson wrote: Sorry, away for the holiday, but yes(it shows "Ooma Inc) that is what bothers me. My port happens on 12/01/09 so I'll see if it persists.
