New Directed Calling / Remote POTS Access feature
This feature enables remote access to your POTS phone service (the telephone service connected to the PhoneGnome box LINE port). A user with the PhoneGnome box can grant access to other PhoneGnome accounts. Such an authorized user can then use their PhoneGnome account to direct a call to a specific POTS telephone service.
With the new Directed Calling / Remote POTS Access feature, friends and family members in one area can place calls to local numbers in another area. One PhoneGnome box can serve any number of accounts whether those accounts have the PhoneGnome box or not.
This feature is being bundled into the Powersuite service bundle, so subscribers to that service now automatically have the new Directed Calling / Remote POTS Access feature FREE.
The feature is available now as beta and users can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Powersuite to try it out.
Sign into your My PhoneGnome account and navigate to the Features page to check it out.

Great feature. But what about the toll fraud discussion you brought up regarding to Ooma? Doesn’t the new Directed Calling / Remote POTS Access feature do the same?

In this case, it is you using your service. Not an anonymous person using your service surreptitiously with which you have no formal or informal relationship.
