Hi all, just activated my Telo tonite and followed instructions but had a question that I can't seem to find an answer for.

during activation I chose to port my existing landline number (currently with AT&T) to ooma and chose this option:
“I would like to use the Ooma system with my current phone provider.”

I understand that to take advantage of this option, I had to hook up my Ooma system by plugging the landline into the port labeled WALL on the back of the Telo.

My question: this is temporary correct...just until after my number is ported over to ooma (3-4 weeks)...once that is completed and I turn off my AT&T account I do not need to have the telo connected to the existing landline line correct?

As an added info, I should say that my internet connection is through a cable modem (TimeWarner), so once I cancel AT&T I believe the telephone line will be dead anyway.

So again the question is whether or not I will need the landline hooked up to the Telo once my number is ported away from AT&T.

Additionally, with the set up the way it is now...are my calls (in and out) still going through AT&T until the number is ported officially to ooma in 3-4 weeks?

Thanks for any response and bits of wisdom.

The connection to the Wall jack of the Ooma will be removed when the number port is complete.
Until the port is complete all incoming calls are via AT&T.
Outgoing local calls are via AT&T.
Outgoing long distance calls are via Ooma.
