Can I transfer incoming calls between units/extensions?
1332013
* You cannot transfer calls between extensions using the same line. The other extension already has access to the call on that line. To alert someone near another extension to a call, you can either (1) yell, or (2) call them on the intercom and ask them to pick up.* To transfer a call from one line to another, push "flash." That puts the call on hold. Then, without hanging up, dial the other line (or any other line). If no one picks up, hit flash again and you're back to the call. If someone does pick up, hit flash and you will have created a three-way or conference call. You can then either stay on the call or hang up, which should not terminate the call for the other participants. * You cannot transfer calls between extensions using the same line.

Yes you can. Place the call on hold, before you hang up the handset press the extension, announce the call and then hang up the handset.

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

Yes. Look up one-to-one NAT. You can translate ports both incoming and outgoing.

The call is not private any extension can answer and here the conversation. So you don't need to transfare the call

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.

Yes the phone numbers will transfer easily. I've accomplished it with two transfers so far and different style Net 10 phones.

This function is possible on the phone but would depend on the system it is connected to. I use our grandstreams running on asterisk and asterisk supports this feature. It works great. You need a SIP or similar VoIP enabled service to use this phone

I'm with Verizon, I called them and gave them pertinent numbers. I had no problems in transferring the use of my old cell phone to the new-used one. Calling your carrier would be the certain way to know this particular model can be utilized by your carrier's network.

I have been using the unit for about a year . You can access a VOIP OR Landline but I have not found a way to bridge the two calls together

Yes you can, but the base unit uses a landline, these are not cell phones. Hope this helps.

That would depend on the service you use, however, as far as I know you should be able to with all phone companies. You must not cancel your old or existing service before the number is transferred to your new service or new phone. If you do cancel the old service before the number is transferred, you will have already lost that number. So, if it's done correctly, then the answer is YES!

I just went into my Ooma dashboard to see if that could be done and didn't see a way to do it. You can, however, assign a different ring tone to the second line so you can differentiate between which line a call is coming in on.

Yes. There is a switch that allows the choice of a 5 minute delay or a 30 minute delay after which the calls are initiated.

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.

As far as I know, it does not. Call transfer refers to the function that allows you to talk on one handset then transfer it to another handset.

Yes can be done but you must have and ip pbx or a hosted service with that you can recive call and tranfer to other external numbers or extentions

Hi. You should be able as long as you do not go over 5 REN (as listed in the Obi202 manual). That is the Ringer Equivalence Number. Each phone device has a REN. Keep the total to below the listed 5 REN and you should be fine. I have mine to one wireless phone that is the main unit. The other three units are wireless to the main phone unit.
