Other Calling Features
The ooma system supports traditional calling features that you may already be familiar with on your existing
landline phone service.
Blocking Caller-ID
To block caller-ID when placing an outgoing call, dial *67 on the telephone before dialing the destination
phone number. To permanently block caller-ID on all outgoing calls, visit the ooma Lounge online to change
your preferences.
Sending Caller-ID
If your ooma system is configured to permanently block caller-ID on all outgoing calls, you can enable sending
of caller-ID on a per-call basis by dialing *82 on the telephone before dialing the destination phone number.
To disable permanent blocking of caller-ID on all outgoing calls, visit the ooma Lounge online to change your
preferences.
Disable Call-Waiting Tone
The ooma system supports the Instant Second Line feature, which allows a second, incoming call to ring on
every phone in the home when your first line is in use. To disable the call-waiting tone from playing when a
second call comes in, dial *70 on the telephone handset prior to making your outgoing call. All the phones
associated with different ooma devices will continue to ring when you receive a second incoming call, but your
call-in-progress will not be disturbed.
Call Return
The ooma system allows you to return the last incoming call. Simply pick up your phone and dial *69. If the
caller-ID for the last incoming call is not available or is blocked, the call cannot be returned.
When using the ooma system with a landline, call return will only work if you have subscribed to caller-ID
on your landline telephone service.
Directory Assistance
Directory assistance calls are available by calling 411. A per-use rate applies. Please visit the ooma Lounge
online for associated costs.
