Ooma - Telo Air Free Home Phone Service with 2 HD3 Handsets - Black

I like this unit because I had one before the one before it was really easy to set up however this unit took longer to set up took me awhile but I was able to do it both ways wired or wireless after I set it up it works great I do recommend this unit to anyone that would like to have voice over IP and the service it's great.

I finally decided to transfer the landline we've had for more than 25 years. We have cell phones with different numbers, but I wanted to keep our old landline number both for nostalgia and to reduce spam calls to our cell phones. (We give out our home phone to businesses, when we sign up for things, etc.) I transferred our home phone number to Google Voice and bought signed up for Ooma because I wanted 911 service. I could have just bought the Ooma telo and used our existing wireless phones, but decided to go ahead and get the Ooma handsets too. I'm really glad I did. We have the two Ooma handsets along with one old wireless phone hooked up to our Ooma Telo. You probably don't care about all that, you just want to know if it works --- and the answer is yes! I've been very happy. It was relatively easy to set up and now works just like our old landline did. I can check Ooma voicemail on the Telo, on the Ooma handsets, on my computer or on my cell phone. I also get a text message on my cell phone when we have a voicemail. I can also easily block spam numbers. The best part is we are paying about $7/month for Ooma versus $65/month for the landline. My only complaint isn't anything that's inherently wrong with Ooma, but rather only an issue if you choose to use a Google Voice number with Ooma. When you set up GV with Ooma, you actually end up with two phone numbers: the original Ooma phone number you receive when setting up the system and your GV number. You can use both numbers if you want, but I choose only to give out the GV number. So, nobody I know or want to talk to ever call me on the Ooma number. However, and here's the issue, that number is still active, so spammers call that number. That means I get spam numbers to both my Ooma number and to my GV number. With that said, if you're transferring a landline, you could transfer it straight to Ooma and not use GV if you want. That would eliminate the problem of two numbers and additional spam calls. Anyway, Ooma has been working great. It was easy to set up and I'm saving about $55/month.

I purchased this as a landline for when my Mom when her cell phone battery would run out. Also, it is great to have this Ooma line when she asked questions about her cell phone. I am using it for basic service so the cost per month for taxes is less than $10. I bought this for a second line since I could not get to my Mom when she had trouble with her cell phone because her building was locked down for the Covid19. I worked out with the staff to plug it in for me after I programmed it in the parking lot with their Wi-Fi node access. She plugged it in and it worked great. The only thing is if you do not have enough bandwidth on the Wi-Fi, the person with the Ooma will hear you clearly but they may break up a bit on your end due to allocation for download bandwidth trumps the upload bandwidth. Still is a good system to use as a backup to a cell phone.

Ooma is very good and you pay only $5 taxes. The only problem is the phones don’t have a quality call. I added an extra Panasonic phone I had and you can see the differential. With the ooma phone you listen the voice with a little distortion and sometimes I can’t understand very well the another people and that didn’t happen with my extra Panasonic phone

Bought this one to replace an older Ooma Telo with the last gen headset. The older headset was terrible and never worked right due to battery problems. The surface coating of the older Telo unit and headsets also became tacky and sticky. This new unit works as expected as is no different in function as my old Ooma. I like the new headset design. Hopefully the surface coating on the units won't get sticky and tacky like my previous Ooma.

I was looking for an alternative to paying for a landline that we hardly use so I started looking into voip phones. Ooma seemed to have the best reviews and available options. It was a good decision and will pay for itself in less than a year. The sound quality is good. I have no complaints for the little we use the phone. I also like that we could integrate our existing cordless phones into the ooma box. I recommend this for anyone looking for a voip connection.

I’ve been reading about the Ooma Voice over IP telephone system for 2-3 years or longer, and wanted to switch from phone service through cable company to this VoIP, but was skeptical about the entire service. I finally decided to buy this package that included the system and two handsets. I was quite impressed after trying it for a few days, and then decided to port over my phone number to the Ooma network. This is a great product and definitely recommend this product and the service.

I have had my Ooma since Jan. 2020. I purchased a second unit 4/2020 for my in-laws. They love it too. It works great with either WiFi or Ethernet. My new bill is $14 cheaper than my u-verse service. I have my cable modem and Ooma plugged into a battery backup. When we lost power for about 3 hours, my phone and internet service were working.
