I have no current home number or actual home phones. Can I have multiple phones throughout house with just the Telo? Do i need a specific phone type?

Yes, you have multiple ways to accomplish it. You can plug a standard, cordless base station into the Telo and have multiple cordless extensions. You can buy Ooma HD2 cordless phones, but the max is four. Or, if you have existing phone wiring, you can disconnect the outside phone line first, and then back feed your phone jacks by plugging the Telo into a phone jack. If you have DSL internet, you will need to separate the DSL line. Standard corded phones will work. Ooma also has optional Linx wireless phone jacks.

Yes you can have multiple phones. I used cheap cordless phones from Target. They came in a set of 2. I think the brand was Uniden. I got the kind without the answering system since Ooma has voicemail. Works great!

My advice would be to get a 3-5 phone cordless (AT&T;, Panasonic, etc) set with an answering system base. You can disable the answering function on the multi-unit and use Ooma's message function. You will be asked to choose an Ooma provided phone number from a list of numbers indigenous to your calling area.

Do you have two phone numbers working on the one phone? Would it be possible to have a US (ATT) and a Telcel number active at the same time? Calvin

Yes, you can. I currently have 5 handsets connected and they all work fine. The only thing they do not do is if you save a number on one handset it does not save it on all of them.

Hello,If you mean more than one phone number than no. Each box uses one phone number. If you are talking multiple portable phones for one number than yes, just plug the base (main) unit of the phone into the basic talk and you can put the extension phones anywhere. No you do not need a computer but you need Internet service. Hope this helps.

Hi. You should be able as long as you do not go over 5 REN (as listed in the Obi202 manual). That is the Ringer Equivalence Number. Each phone device has a REN. Keep the total to below the listed 5 REN and you should be fine. I have mine to one wireless phone that is the main unit. The other three units are wireless to the main phone unit.

Yes, you can. We actually have a total of 5 handheld phones on the system. You have to MAKE SURE you get handsets that are compatible with your base unit - not all models work. Each handset is given a number when you set them up and because of this, you can use the intercom to call all units, or just specific ones. My husband's home office has the #5 unit so when I want him I page only his handset. I know there is a limit as to how many additional handsets you can add, but I'm not sure what it is. If it's wasn't for the Blutooth headset issue, I'd give it a 5 star rating.

Yes, I have my telo installed next to my router mainly for that reason .. that is where my house phone wire comes as well. I use a wired phone (with 3 wireless handsets) with Ooma, as well as use two of their HD2 wireless handsets from Ooma. What you don't get from Ooma is true two line support of house wired phones. At this time (they keep hinting that it might change) they only support a singe pair of house wires. So if you have two line phones (as I do) don't expect the 2nd line to work. That is what I use one of the HD2's for. Hope they improve this area.

So far I have used mine only to send faxes, using my home phone. I believe there is a setting so that you can set it to use as a phone or as a fax or both. I am sure you don't have to have a separate number. It gets confusing if you receive a lot of faxes and have to change it back and forth.

You do use your home number. The only downside is that you have to choosee whether your voicemail or fax answers if you don't. I keep voicemail on unless I am expecting a fax. For outbound faxes this isn't a problem.

Sure, it's easy. Go online to your Verizon account and set it up - there's a number to call that programs the phone to your existing phone number. I like flip phones and this is my all-time favorite.

No. This feature is not supported by this phone. Also: please note that this is a SIP phone and will not connect to standard home phone service.

I have the Telo, and if you don't subscribe to an international plan and don't fund your prepaid calling account then it is not possible to make international or 411 calls. Thankfully, Ooma does not support 900 numbers or phone chat services. Therefore, it is good for someone who wants to keep a tight control over their residential phone bill. Ooma also has an Ooma Office product for small businesses. The Telo is designed for residential use.

If I actually could get 2 handsets, is it possible to run a different skype account on each or do they have to use the same skype account?

You can plug two different phone lines (different numbers) into the same phone and be able to answer either number using the same phone. You can also conference the two lines together. I use one in my home office so I can answer my office or home phone fro the same unit.

I have the same problem. I think the problem is that my name is not displayed on caller ID, and why that is I can't answer. Sorry I don't have a solution. Very frustrating, especially since I travel a lot and need to use someone else's phone to call my own home!

You will need an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA). If you do a search in Amazon for "ATA Telephone", you will get a bunch of matches. This adapter will connect to your voip phone system via network jack and provide you an analog port for your phone. You will of course need to configure the ATA device just like it was a digital phone. I even use one of these at home to connect my cordless analog handsets to my VOIP phone service. You can get one these ATA devices with multiple ports if you need to support more than one analog phone.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl96nDuoEMM You will need an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA).
