Blacklist

Post by sherrondee » Sat Oct 08, 2011 1:54 pm

Hello! Strange thing...I have blacklisted a number but it continues to leave a 2 second message every time they call. From the first they were one to hang up w/out leaving a message. Before I blacklisted them it would show up in the call log, now they don't show up in the call log but they still leave a 2 second message on the voicemail.
So how do I keep them from hanging up, leaving a 2 second message on my voicemail?

Thank you in advance,
BD

In your Preferences, you can set Blacklisted calls to something other than "Send to Voicemail". I have my Blacklisted numbers set to "Continuous Ring". They hear the ring, I hear nothing . . . and it doesn't allow them to leave a voicemail.

Oh, yeah, thanks. I had the community blacklist to get the call blocked message and the personal blacklist sent to voicemail. Now they both get the call blocked messasge.:>)

I have a problem with my blacklist settings resetting to "send to voicemail".

I suggest checking your settings periodically to make sure they stay set to your choices. I am awaiting a resolution to this issue now (2nd attempt).

This is probably related to the fact that "MY Ooma Dashboard" is still in "beta" but I sure hope they get it pinned down soon.

I've noticed that everytime I log back in to my settings, the community blacklist is set back to 'unchecked' even after I have saved it as 'checked' the previous time.

I just posted the same question. I have now sent an email to support as well. It's very odd that it happens on my two units.

now they don't show up in the call log but they still leave a 2 second message on the voicemail.
Check your privacy preferences. If you have anonymous call block enabled; anonymous calls sent to voicemail and the calling party blocks their ID they will be able to leave a message and their number won't show in your call log but their number will show in voicemail.

I contacted Ooma support on my two Telos having community blacklisting that keeps turning off. Their response said that I needed to clear my cache on my web browser. Are they kidding me?

Well here we are just a couple days later and they were both unchecked again today. Does anyone else have this issue still happening?

Probably when Ooma Telo Firmware version 50832 or later is pushed out, this problem will be resolved?

I see where powering off the Ooma device for 20 minutes and and then repowering has helped a few people. Then reset your settings. Powering off for twenty minutes allows the Ooma servers to rebuild your Ooma profile.
