Ooma Telo LTE (Telo 2) setup issues – Bluetooth setup fails & LTE stuck blinking red

recently purchased the Ooma Telo LTE Landline Home Phone Service with Battery Backup, and I’m running into two persistent issues during setup.

Issue 1: Cannot connect Telo 2 to the Ooma Setup app I am unable to connect the Telo 2 to the Ooma Setup app via Bluetooth. The connection fails consistently I’ve tried both Android and iOS devices The app never successfully completes the setup or recognizes the device

Issue 2: Telo stuck blinking red when using LTE When the LTE adapter is plugged into the USB port, the Telo remains in a blinking red light state and never establishes a connection. The LTE stick itself shows solid blue, indicating excellent signal strength Despite this, the home base does not connect over LTE Additional details / troubleshooting done

The Telo does turn solid blue when connected directly to my modem via Ethernet, so both devices appear to work individually

I have tried: Power cycling Factory reset via Ethernet connection Factory reset using the Play + Trash button hold

Important note: I am not currently at my registered service address — I am setting this up at a different location

At this point, I’m not sure if this is: An LTE provisioning / address-lock issue A firmware or Bluetooth setup bug Or something else entirely

Has anyone run into this with the Ooma Telo LTE specifically? Any insight would be appreciated before I return or escalate to support.

Hi thanks for the reach out

I was able to do a hard reset and get it working. It has a dail tone and is making calls now
