There is probably a problem with your Ooma profile.

jcarling, this may not be your situation but what you describe is what happens between the time your Ooma loses internet connection and the time your Ooma realizes it and comes offline. Dialtone but silence after dialing.

Having the same problem. Is there a problem with the network?

I was having this problem, but after rebooting the calls went though nomally. When I was having this problem, some days, every time I wanted to use the phone, I had to reboot the Ooma Telo serveral times. Then by itself, it cleared up and it's been normal since.

Try removing power from the Ooma device. Then repower the Ooma device and test.
