Answering Calls

To answer an incoming call, simply pickup any ringing phone in the house and you will be connected to the

caller. When a line is ringing, you will see the line button blink rapidly.

To use Caller ID on your phones, the landline phone service plugged into the ooma system must also have

the Caller ID feature enabled.

Ending Calls

To end a call, simply hang up the phone. If you are the only one talking on that line, the call will be

disconnected and the line button will stop being illuminated.

Emergency 911 Calls

Emergency 911 calls work differently depending on whether you are using the landline or non-landline version.

Please see the appropriate notes below.

If you pick up any phone connected to an

ooma device and dial 911, the call will override

other calls currently active on the system and

be placed through your local phone service to

ensure that your location is quickly identified.

911 calls work even if your Internet connection

is down or there is a power outage in your

house. Note: Placing a 911 call during a power

outage requires a line-powered corded phone.

Under rare circumstances, the

system may not be able to disconnect an active

call immediately to place the 911 call. In this

case, you will hear a fast busy tone. Hang-up

the phone, wait 15 seconds, then dial again.

LANDLINE

If you pick up any phone connected to an

ooma device and dial 911, the call will override

other calls currently active on the system and

will be immediately placed to our 911 service

centers.

In locations where Enhanced 911

is available, your service address location will

automatically be transmitted to dispatchers

handling the call. For your saftey, always

ensure that ooma has your current service

address. To update your service address,

please visit the ooma Lounge or call ooma

customer service.
