how do I ensure a local area code?

You can pay a one-time fee to either keep your current home number or choose a new one with the same area code

I ported my old phone number over to Ooma, so everything remained the same. However, if you need a new number you probably have to work with customer service. There may be a few area codes not open to them because of high usage rates. Give them a call first: they will work with you.

When you sign up, you tell Ooma your address and they offer a good variety of phone numbers in your area. You can also transfer an existing phone number to their system, though it takes a few days for that process to be completed. Ooma is great for personal home use. Some customers, like myself, were unable to get a fax to work with their system, otherwise it's reliable, has reasonably good voice quality, and is cheaper than anything out there.

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.

You do have to call them. They will need to add the address of the modem so it will work properly.

There are specific strips for each unit The names need to match. I hope that helps. Then plug in the new number code tab.

I had it hooked up on mine, but sent the whole smear back as I could not get a local phone number

They have a 3 digit code on back, example 730 or 728 etc. if you request a different code they will not interfere with each other. Bobby

Sorry Phil. I can't remember. I think that you just call your own number. I have a note to myself to get it out, and connect it again. I can tell you that it did work well, when I had it connected and running.

Not for sure I would call the 800 number. It uses GSM so I would assume so.

Yes they will assign a new number and they ask you what area code you will most be using the phone in. I've even changed my number, using an area code way off where I'm actually located just to mess with friend. Hope this helps. Happy Hollidays!!!!

May have to Google that. I have a security system that it works through so they will need some sort of a modem or something. Sorry I can't be of more help.

There's a small, 2 letter code in the lower right hand corner of the radio on the face. Call them and they will let you know if it will work.

you can use any code chip that comes in the strip box. just put it in the meter and turn it on to see if the code displays same as on the chip.

There should be a phone number on the back of packaging 714 area code .I called the number and activated my SIM card .

I do not know because I have not had the need to do so. I'm sure it's a possibility because it's connected with the home address which is one of the criteria for a 911 call so that the location could be ascertain easily. Hope this help. The unit is amazing and it's far more superior to MagicJack. It's the best phone unit in the market today.

Yes, you need to call them. You will need the various codes on the back of the modem so be prepared for that.

Donna: My home landline service is thru the local cable company and the Guardian Alert works just fine. However, you (as did I) must make sure that your cable phone service provides *your* caller i.d. (your phone number, name, address) on your outgoing call(s). Most do these days, and you can verify it does simply by calling someone you know that has CID to see if your info comes up on their CID display. Sorry if this sounds condescending, but there's no point in buying Guardian Alert if you don't have an outgoing CID from your "cable phone connection." To be absolutely certain, call your local non-emergency (non-911) police number and explain that you want to verify your CID. They will be happy to accommodate your request because it ensures prompt and accurate response if you have a future 911 call. Btw, you can go to this web address and download a complete instruction manual (click on "Instructions V9.2 English) to read about its cable phone connections and everything else involving the Guardian Alert: http://www.logicmark.com/downloads/

It should work fine as long as you have your local network set up properly.
