I'm trying to decide which system will work for my SOHO's multiple line needs.
My current configuration and needs are...
1. I need 911 support - It doesn't look like I can make 911 calls with the Hub. Is this correct?
2. I have 1 phone line for home and 2 SOHO phone lines connected to a 4-line phone (AT&T 964); and a couple of cordless phones in the home for personal use. My 4-line phone has a Line 1/2 jack and Line 3/4 jack. The wall jack near my cable modem and router has 2 ports - One port carries my 2 business lines and connects to Line 1/2 of my phone; the other carries my personal line and connects to line 3/4 of my phone. I imagine I'd use line 1/2 for both the phone and wall jack for ooma. Can ooma work with this kind of wall jack and phone?
3. My business calls go directly to a virtual pbx (gotvmail) and routes my calls to my home phone or other calls to my staff's phones. My business fax line forwards to a virtual fax line too - forwards automatically to myfax.com so my faxes come via email to me and my staff. Will I be able to forward all incoming calls for my business phone & fax # 's to go to my virtual pbx and virtual fax system? I know its a lot of forwarding going on, but I preferred to keep my phone/fax #'s and change forwarding whenever I have to change voicemail or fax providers.
I'm leaning toward the Telo with disconnected phone lines. But I've looked at the back of the Telo and Hub. None of them have a jack for a second line. So I'm not sure how my live 2nd and 3rd lines will be configured to work with ooma.
Anywho, Since I don't want to change my business phone/fax #'s. Would I simply have those numbers ported over to Ooma as well? One of ooma's videos said I could have up to 10 phone #'s. But it looked like they had to be created through ooma's add a line feature. I didn't see much documentation about porting multiple phone.
I'm looking forward to saving $200+ per month!
