Anyways, I think it is becuase Ooma does not support DTMF tones, and thus Oomas own systems dont work, I find it very humourous.

Actually ooma systems have no problem with DTMF (touchtones) outgoing from the device. If it did not support outgoing DTMF then you could not call your bank's automatic system, your credit card company, or stock broker. The ooma hub will not support incoming DTMF and the Telo currently does not - although it may in the future.
I have used ooma's IVR system many times and yes, it does seem strange that you have to wait until the message stops, but it does work if you do wait. I have never had a problem with it in nearly a year.
Perhaps a misunderstanding, yes I know I can call my bank, etc. but as you confirmed currently Ooma does not support incoming DTMF. So if Ooma's system is based on there own technology that does not accept incomming, I am assuming incoming DTMF tones will not work.
I am just agreeing with the OP, that its annoying. If Ooma expects to be taken as a "real" company, all these little things add up and dont instill confidence.
It is noted that even if a company "looks" all squared away, appearances can be deceiving.
Wishing Ooma all the success.
