The Instant Second Line gives you a second phone line at the same convenient number without the hassle or cost of physically installing a second line. In order to take advantage of this feature, you will need to install at least one ooma Scout device in a standard phone jack.

Placing calls using the Instant Second Line
To make a call when somebody else in your house is on the phone, simply pick up a phone connected to a different ooma device and you will hear the signature ooma dialtone. If you are on the first line and want to make a second call, simply press the other line button (the light should be off) or press the flash key on your phone. You should hear the signature dialtone on the new line, indicating that the Instant Second Line is available.

Answering calls on the Instant Second Line
If a second call comes in when somebody else in your house is on the phone, you will hear the call-waiting signal and all the other phones in the house will ring. If you are already on the phone, you can press the other line button (it should be blinking rapidly) or press the flash key on your phone. If someone else in the house wants to answer the call, they simply need to pick up a ringing phone connected to a different ooma device.

Alternating between phone lines
To alternate between two lines, simply press down on the line button of the call you wish to join (it should be blinking red) and the current call will automatically be placed on hold. Alternatively, press the flash key on your phone to alternate between phone lines.

Placing calls on hold
To place a call on hold, simply press the button for the line you are on (the light should be solid red). Please note that if both lines are in use, you cannot place both calls on hold.

Three-way conferencing
You can initiate a three-way conference call in a number of ways. Once you have two parties on the line, simply press down both lines at once on any ooma device, and voila! You’ve got yourself a three-way! Please note that if you hang up the phone during a conference call, both lines will be disconnected. Alternatively, you can break the three-way into two separate calls by pressing on either line button on an ooma device. This will automatically place the other call on hold.

Using the Instant Second Line using a cordless phone
If you wish to make or take a second call when someone else is on the phone, simply pick up a phone connected to a different ooma device and you will automatically get a new ooma dialtone . You can also join the call in progress by pressing the flash key on your phone.

ooma Scout Review

People have a hard time believing that they can have first rate totally free phone service, but they can. This Scout device is an add on, or part of the Ooma package that enables that. To use this Scout device you need to already have the ooma Hub – VoIP Phone Device with No Monthly Phone Service Bills
This scout provides the ability to have use of a second phone line, all integrated into the same phone number you use with the hub.
For those who are new to the Ooma phone, get it. The voice quality is superior to the other types of VOIP service I have used. I even had a problem with automated phone systems asking for “Press one” for example. I would press one, but occassionally, with certain places, it would not register. with Ooma, those places that I had problems with all work perfectly.
You can actually disconnect your regular phone with the Ooma system, and transfer your existing phone number over. You will need to maintain a broadband connection though, since that is what your phone operates through. If you have DSL, you can request a dry line, with DSL only, and still be able to disconnect your regular phone service. If you have Verizon FIOS, or cable you can use your phone through there, and not have any committments for a regular phone line as well.
Hey with the new TV converter boxes, and the government coupon offer, you can spend 20 dolars once for the converter, and discontinue satellite, or cable tv, and still get digital quality picture and video, with nothing more then a set of rabbit ears. So much for 80 dollars per month to watch TV. Then forget having to pay a phone bill, because Ooma is free unlimited phone use. All that is left is your internet connection. If you want to use Verizon’s basic DSL at 756k for 20 bucks roughly, you now have all three for the least expensive price. That way you have more money for more toys.
You can see that the Ooma hub makes it possible to greatly reduce your overall overhead. It works without a glitch. Highly recommended.
