Problem with ooma dialing the wrong number

Post by chief » Thu Jun 26, 2008 8:31 pm

Has anyone else experienced your ooma box will dial a prevous number that you called. What I mean is this. I call 111-111-1111 (example) have a phone conversation blah blah blah. Then hang up. Then later you pick up the phone and dial 222-222-2222 (another example) and on my phone it will show that I dialed the new number correctly, but behind the scenes it dials the first number back. I have had this happens several times and so has my wife. It can even happen if I use one phone and she picks up a different phone to make a new call. Anyone esle have this problem?

Hi Chief,

I haven't heard about this problem before - I'd send a note over to the customer support team with details on a specific day/time when this occurred so we can investigate this further.

Yes, I have had this happen to me also, but only once so far.

No. My phone is a GE 2.4Ghz chorded. Also, my wife informed me that this problem has happened to her a couple of times too. You know, This could potentially be a serious problem if it were to happen while attempting to make an immergency call.

Yes, I agree. If you or your wife can recall approximate day/times and the phone numbers involved, we can try to take a look at why this might be occurring.

The ooma Hub only has memory for the last called phone number. Normally if you dial *69 (if caller-ID was present), you'll dial the person who last called you. We'd need to check if somehow this or some other key sequence is being sent from the phone.

We've finally been able to collect enough data to isolate this issue and have rolled out a fix in an upgrade sent out about a week ago. Thanks to all who chimed in on this.

I am glad you fixed this. I wanted to check and see if anyone else continued to have problems with this so i came back to my orignial post. I can tell you I have not had this problem in a few months. It seems to not happen any more. Thanks for fixing it.
