And for the sake of nostalgia, remember this?

LOL no, not that old, but I do have a couple of wall-mounted Trimlines that aren't near a power outlet. Happy to see they'll keep working with the Ooma. There's a lot of deep snow between me and my demarc right now, but I plan to plow my way to it this weekend.oldanbo wrote: Wasn't the wall phone the 2554? I could be wrong, it's been almost 40 years.
Merry Christmas!Fis wrote:MAKING PROGRESS, BUT MORE QUESTIONS:
1) Adding a Scout: My Hub is in an inconvenient location, by my router. While my phones are all connected via inside wiring, I would like to set up my one Scout in a convenient place for checking voicemail. How do I connect the Scout when I'm using my inside wiring? Just plugging it into a wall jack did nothing (and when I tried to connect a phone through it, it was dead). I just got solid red lights.
The scout makes an excellent voicemail station. We can get you up and running with the scout by using a separate pair of wires in your phone cable after you have your system configured to not use the integrated option. Many folks have done this successfully. The reason for your current problem with it is that the scout communicates with the hub using HPNA and HPNA does not play well with DSL.
2) Call waiting appears to work the same as it did with my land line. Is this going to continue to work when my Premier trial ends?
Yes - call waiting is a basic feature and will work well without Premier.
3) Before I bought this thing, I was told by the Ooma rep that I can have my number to ring to my cell phone when the power is out or the broadband is not working. I see this setting at MyOoma under Call Forwarding. Does this feature disappear when my Premier trial ends ?!?
Yes. Call forwarding, multi-ring, and even forward on outage are all Premier features. You might want to consider using Google Voice as a front end to your ooma number and give the GV number out as your main number. Then if the system is down or power is out you can answer it on another forwarded phone.
4) I wanted to test the call forwarding, so I unplugged the Ooma and then called the Ooma number. Instead of Call Forwarding, I got my Ooma voicemail. Does that make sense? How do I test Call Forwarding?
It takes a while for the system to take your forwarding number - and it also takes up to a couple of minutes to recognize that the ooma is off-line.
See, told ya I was old. I was an installer then repairman from '71 to '76. So it was only 34 years ago.

It looks like it will be moving to basic service in the near future. Here is a link to a forum talking about it.Fis wrote:Nobody seemed to want to respond to my last post Friday. So let me ask this: if you don't have Premier, and the power goes out, what do callers hear? Just your normal voicemail greeting?
Sorry Fis, remember this is a holiday weekend so responses may be slower than usual.Fis wrote:Nobody seemed to want to respond to my last post Friday. So let me ask this: if you don't have Premier, and the power goes out, what do callers hear? Just your normal voicemail greeting?
