How is a phone number assigned to the owner? Can you choose your area code?

I THINK you can choose your area code if it's within your state, but I'm not sure. I do know they give you quite a few phone numbers to choose from.

No it doesn't on mine. Somebody has asked that before and was told that their unit did reference the phone book but mine does not. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the area code display function and how you set it up initially. Another issue for me is, I can't return a call from the caller ID display if it's long distance because there isn't a way to add the "1". My old unit, you could display the number on the caller ID, then press "1", then the dial function. This one won't do it. Again, I'm wondering if it's it the initial set up options.

Obviously porting would work, but you can also check available area codes on the Ooma site. [http://www.ooma.com/products/choose-number] Note the site has a place to check the portability of your current number as well as check for a given area code.

this is a prepaid phone, so when you call it's activated right away with a $10.00 balance and they will issue you a new phone # or you might be able to keep your old #. just follow the prompts when you call.

If you follow the instructions and activate the phone with Tracphone, they will assign you a number.

Yes, you always have the option of transferring a number you already have through any carrier or letting them assigning you a new number. I think if you do it online it lets you pick maybe the prefix.

Sorry, I have the phone installed in my vacation home on the Cape and the owner's manual is there as well. It is caller ID capable, but not sure on the call waiting feature.

No, you have to activate some kind of service plan to have a phone # assigned.

I believe if you r just using an existing number there is no fee. My father's phone was stolen. I bought the breeze and ATT even gave me a new SIM card when they re activated the number. There was no fee.

No. just the phone it self. You have to have your own plan. I just had my number switched to new telephone.

If someone has called me from another area code, I simply pick up the receiver, pull up their ID call number and hit the dial button. IF the caller is local, I have not been able to do the same. However, I'm told that this is possible once I complete the required ID processes. I LIKE this phone...only wish the caller ID screen had a brighter image (or a light).

You can keep any telephone number you have but you need to port it to a service provider. If you need more info email me directly.Paul

The One Sim Card owner can set up an 800# for incoming calls, but that means the charges go to him/her. Alternatively, the # of the sim card can be provided to the US caller.

No. The phone is assigned a number when you take it in for activation at the store.

Yah. No issue. When you change it from default 0000 to your number, you'll do it the same with the new number. Just that your old number is the default. It's easy.

Yes, you can. It will tell you who is calling, by name or business, organization and will also show the phone number starting with the area code.
