Delay in ringing the phone I'm calling

Post by artiecon » Thu Nov 29, 2012 11:38 am

Kind of confusing but the fact is that OOMA seems to ring on its own, without actually connecting to the phone number I'm calling.
I have a voicemail phone number I call which picks up after 4 rings. Lately, when I call this number, I hear several (up to 4) rings, then a slight change in the connection and the actual phone I'm calling then rings its 4 times.
This isn't just land line phones- I needed to call my wifes phone back after she called my cell, and, although she told me she answered immediately it rung, I heard 3 rings. My wife said it rang once.

This has been happening for several weeks now. Is there a reason for this? My OOMA has the latest REV

I had the same thing happen to me today. I dialed the number, heard no ringing, and then some one was saying hello. I never did hear the phone ringing.
