You can call out to non VOIP phones, ie pots or cell phone numbers. You will want to pair the OBI devicewith GOOGLE Voice for access to and from those other non OBI device lines. It is pretty easy a to pair it with GOOGLE Voice

No, doesn't matter. I use Mac to access the Ooma Web Platform. Both work. There's even an Ooma application that you can install on your phone. It's a great phone system.

I looked at the picture after replying. I was thinking of the Ooma Telo main unit. But the answer is still yes you can. Mix and match is no problem.

You would need to use 1 or more splitters and/or connectors the Ooma office line on your 2 line phone. (which I have done) I used a Line 1 Line 2 splitter to feed Ooma and another line in.

I initially had a land line. Last week I set up a Ooma phone (VOIP), and it did call out the alarm to the three designated numbers. I was able to cancel the call out during that call. So far, the only thing that is a little less reliable is if you call into the alarm during an alarm situation. It took several times to get that to work. I am satisfied with its functionality on the Ooma phone. I did install a power back up system for the phone set, router and Ooma station. So it should work during an outage for long enough to send out the call--unless cable is down too.

mowgli - Calls using more than one outside line would be subject to your service provider's network, so you'll have to contact the provider. CL83203 is compatible with network features such as 3 way calling. Thanks!

Will the OBi work with existing alarm systems that use the phone line to call for help?

Check with your phone company! The law say they must port your number but not all companies can! Ooma has to have phone company "partner". In some areas there seem to be smaller regional or sub regional carriers that don't partner with Ooma. I''m not sure exactly how this works or what proportion of numbers can't be ported but it is difficult to give up a number you've had for 30- 40 years!!

My Ooma works fine with faxes - not the handset though - through the Ooma base unit. Works best if you dial *99 and then the fax number.

Ooma is a device that converts your phone call into an internet signal and redirects to who ever you called. It is a VOIP. For your phone to work all you need to do is plug your phone into the ooma device and connect that device to the internet. You can also connect the ooma directly to your phone jack and the ooma would send its signal through the house. I love my ooma. I spend less then $4 a month from where i live and i get great call quality. I save almost $20 every month just by using it. I have saved tons of money just by getting the ooma.

I don't have ADT but I do have a different security system. So far I have not been able to make it work with OOMA but I haven't yet talked to my security company. I thought I could add a twin telephone outlet to the OOMA system and plug in my old telephone line (which is attached to the security system). Unfortunately, The OOMA box ceased to accept either incoming or outgoing calls as long as it saw the old analog telephone line wiring was attached to the OOMA box, even though the old telephone system is now inactive.

I have two cell phones (different numbers) as well as my original land-line connected to this system. When the Bluetooth signal is within range (+/- 75 feet of the base) all calls, to all numbers, ring the handsets. Therefore you can pick up any incoming call for any number, from any phone, including your cell phones (assuming the call was for one of the cell phone numbers. Land-line calls are obviously not routed through your cellular device). As for outgoing calls, once again, you can either call from your land-line or call from either of the two cell phones with no special requirements. Just pick up your phone and dial. No "unpairing" required whatsoever. Oh, and any incoming text message for your cell phones causes the system to ring (a different ring versus the "regular" ring) and announce "text message". Handy but i assume you can turn off that feature if you don't want to hear it. Hope that answers your question.

Ooma has both a handset and a wireless linx VoIP box. One can plug the small linx box into an electric outlet anywhere in range in the house and then plug a normal telephone in the box. The linx also works well with ordinary wireless telephones and allows one to increase the range. One can use both Ooma handsets and Linx connections in the same system at the same time.

You sure can. If you have it VPN back home to your Callmanager or UC500, or it will connect to your SIP Trunk provider.

I can't recall. I don't believe so. But connecting the phone line is very easy to do.

You can use what you want. The Ooma handsets have the advantage that they discover the rest of Ooma wirelessly and they they are very well put together.
