Both lines actually simply forward to two different cell phones and there are no actual phones attached to the hub. If I need to use Ooma for outbound calls, I simply use their iPhone app.
I currently have email voicemail notification set up where when someone leaves a voicemail I get an email with the audio file attached.
What I'd like to do is to be able to have those notifications sent to two different email addresses.
The Ooma Chat rep said that's not possible without a "private line." When I queried her more, that does not mean purchasing a third phone number but adding, she said, a Linx device to my hub. She lost me.
Ooma pro's, is what I'm wanting to do possible? (And despite Ooma's urgent pleas, I have no interest in upgrading to a Telo with its attendant fees until m current original hub dies. 8 years of free phone calls with no monthly fees for taxes et al -- other than the yearly Premier subscription -- has been very nice.)
if all you want is to get the email transcriptions to more than one email address, [MENTION=6592]swag[/MENTION] comment will do the trick. Just create a rule in the gmail settings to forward from the ooma address to another address.
The linx, is a 2nd phone line device that will truly allow your to have two physical lines. The "second line" is really only two numbers coming in to the same ooma box. I have 2 line cordless phones and the only way to get the 2nd line to ring on those phones with the 2nd line number is to have a linx (I have a scout, same thing but bigger better and older and came with the original ooma hubs free).
IMHO if everything else is working as you like, don't introduce new hardware instead.
