OK...So I have joined your ranks and am now a happy and satisfied Ooma user! I have to say that I am more than impressed with the service and plan on subscribing to premier... That said, I have a question on how landline integration works...
My understanding is that landline integration brings two benefits to the table:
(1) 911 calls are routed to landline
(2) During power or internet outage, landline dialtone is passed through to the handset (assuming the phone attached to the hub/scout is not dependent on power during a power outage)
Is that it? Is there no other benefit to landline integration?
The user manual talks about a landline provisioning process that turns off duplicate features, and turns on Busy Call Forwarding... What does this have to do with anything? I am sure I am missing something...
The user manual also says that there should be no phones hooked up without a scout or hub... If that's the case, what happens when someone calls my landline? Ooma doesn't pass the landline call through, does it? (I haven't been able to get that to work)....
I am a little confused, but admittedly a new user (but fairly technically saavy)...
Thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide here!
