uconnfan, by any chance, do you have anonymous call block on? Is this consistently problematic number blocking callerid?

I did and it was the first thing I turned off 2 months ago when I started having this problem.

Also, as another data point I can tell you that both the numbers that consistently (every time) go to Voicemail show up on my caller id when they call my cell.



Thanks.

If you have not done so already, you might want to double-check your blacklist settings. Seems I have read a couple posts where settings mysteriously changed and were not what the user was expecting. Mine are both turned on, and I'll keep it that for a data point (none of my calls are very important).

Thanks but I'm not a premiere member so I do not have access to the blacklist settings.

I had another one ring and straight to voicemail this morning as well. My blacklist settings look the same as they always have with only about 5 numbers blocked.

Ah it was worth a shot... I'm still in my free trial of premier period.

If you set up any blacklists during your Premier trial they may still be in effect. There have been several reports of the front end access to blacklists being turned off but the existing settings on the back end server not being wiped out.

Blacklist was my initial thought. I did setup a blacklist, but I certainly did not blacklist these two phone numbers. I will, unfortunately, have to call Ooma support to make sure that I have no blacklist in effect.

Thanks.

Hello,

Yes, we were a little premature in claiming victory over this issue & I apologize. The fix that was deployed did not completely fix all of the issues. This is a high priority for engineering! I'll post updates as I receive them.

Thanks!

DirecTV support keeps going straight to Voicemail for me 800-531-5000 last two days. I am working on a problem with DirecTV and its EXTREMELY ANNOYING. I am a premier customer, is there anything I can do? Thread is too long to find any answer.

What stinks here is that you can only speak with a Supervisor from DirecTV by callback. They can't transfer me. GAAAAHHH!!
