"Charlie Tester"

After we had VOIPo for a few weeks and had the number ported, I asked my wife if everything was all right since she talks on the phone far more than I do.

She said, it was great except that sometimes when she was on the phone she heard ringing on the line like she had placed a call.

I didn't think much about it until it happened to me and I figured out it was call waiting.

It doesn't matter to me if it rings or beeps as long as I know what it is, and now I do.

Hehe, my wife did mention that she heard ringing while she was "talking" to her friend, and i told her it was probably from the tv. Later, her dad called my cell, and asked if our phone was broken

What worked for me last time I had a call waiting was to use the flash button to answer the incoming call. When the call ended I hung up rather than pushing the flash button to get back to the previous caller. Hanging up caused the phone to ring, answering the phone got me back to the original caller.
When ever I used the flash button to go back to the first call I always lost the caller.

Don't know if hanging up to end the conversation with the second caller will always work but it worked the one time I tried it, got me back to the first caller.

Update: Call just came in while I was on the phone, the process I described above failed. I lost the first caller.

This should be addressed late this month for sure. We'll be making a big equipment-related announcement. I've just wrapped up something with Grandstream and we have a big order arriving soon.

My Vonage Cap came with a Vonage Shirt, but those things are often too small! Oversized is always better than too small.

I overheard Tim saying that he was looking in the LL Bean Catalogue to order laptop bags for all of us with the Voipo logo.
That would be nice.

I received a GS-502 this afternoon. It fixed the call waiting issue of not being able to flash back to the first caller after receiving a second phone call.

The GS-502 activates the voice mail indicator light on my Panasonic phones when there is a new voice message.

Thank you
Jim

Glad to hear. Let us know if you run into any more issues.
