I just logged into my account before I read this here and discovered it! Upgrade takes seconds.

My Hub account had it.
My Telo account did not have it.

They have to phase it. If everyone tried to update at the same time it could crush the server(s).

Oops, I hope I didn't crash http://ca.ooma.com

I suppose I found a bug in the migration process.

In the Voicemail forwarding/notifications preference, a couple of things were messed up.

I had 2 entries to email phone_number@mms.att.net with Audio file as attachment but after migration, the word "attachment" over-wrote first digit of phone_number and attachment option was over-written with "Text notification."

We'll check this one out.

I'm still unclear what the upgrade does. Plus, I've learned from the past to always wait before upgrading software, until they can work out the bugs.

I also don't understand what this means, "Your existing voicemail messages will be archived for access in My Ooma. You'll be able to play, manage and download your archived messages until January 31st, 2012."

So after January 31st, 2012 my messages will be gone forever?

I read this Voicemail Upgrade message and at the end, I clicked to read the "the complete FAQ" to see what it said and I was asked for the "Support Password".

I tried my normal Ooma password and it didn't work. I'm not sure I ever recall seeing an Ooma "Support Password".

Am I missing something here?
