“I have several handsets connected with my current provided phone service. With Ooma, must one phone be plugged in to the Ooma unit or does one plug the Ooma unit to the jack on the modem/gateway? I can't figure out how multiple handsets will work.”

Ooma is plugged into cat 5 from your internet and any phone jack in the system. All phones in the system are now live
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If it is a cordless set with one base station and multiple expansions that only need power to plug in, it would work fine. If you are trying to plug in corded phones into phone wall jacks around the house, you might be able to plug the Ooma phone side into a wall jack and have the other phones pick up the signal, but I can't say for certain it would work. The Ooma unit would need to push out enough power and I have a feeling it does not.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ooma Telo has a standard phone jack into which you can plug a standard phone line going either to one phone, or going to the base station of a wireless phone system, or plug your house's phone wiring into it (after disconnecting that wiring from the phone company's box)--then all the phone jacks in your house will be connected to the Ooma.
