Curious about Ooma Caller ID on output
Ok, not exactly "repair" but someone here may know.
I currently have an AT&T land line, and long ago I built a Caller ID demodulator using the MC145447 single-chip solution (no longer made), which in turn is plugged into an old Commodore computer which I have programmed to audibly announce the calling name and number throughout the house via intercom. Very convenient. The incoming CID packet is in Bell 202 format, which is simple 1200 baud 8/N/1 FSK modulation. The demodulator does just that, but does not transmit any kind of ACK back to Ma Bell. The CID packets follow a specific format, with checksum, etc. So I'm tired of being raped by AT&T on the land line, and am looking at Ooma. But of course I want the Ooma Telo to transmit standard Bell 202 CID packets on its output between the first and second rings, just like Ma Bell does, so my CID announcer will still work. My first assumption would be that it does exactly that - otherwise Caller ID would not work on any phone (including a cordless base station) that's plugged into the Ooma. But I just want to be sure before I shell out the bucks for the Ooma. Can anyone here clarify this for me? |

Enhanced Caller-ID http://www.ooma.com/app/support/enhanced-caller-id To the best of my very limited knowledge of Ooma, desk phone, with a built in CID decoder, works normally when plugged into an Ooma VoIP router. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

I have a Panasonic cordless base station plugged into an OOMA box and the caller ID displays correctly. |
