“So the base connects wirelessly to router, how are the phones connected? Phones have a wireless connection to the base station from different rooms or each phone needs an RJ11 phone cord that plugs into the base station or into a wall jack?”

The wireless phones that come with the unit only needs an ac power outlet to keep the phone charged while in it's charging cradle. Once you get the base station set up you can then plug the phones and cradle anywhere in your home and get them linked to the base station. It takes a couple of minutes for the phone to establish the link and then update. You'll see a message on the face of the phone telling you it's updating, etc. After that, you can pick up the phone and push the talk button. You will get a dial tone! You're set. Oh, you can purchase more phones from Ooma and set up more extensions if you need too. I used to have about 4 or 5. Now I'm only using 3. Hope that helps. GeorgiaDad
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All of the above are possible actually. The cordless phones that OOMA sells don’t need a wall jack of course. If you kept your old cordless phone system, you can plug its base station into the phone jack on the OOMA base station and viola you have a bunch of extra cordless handsets to scatter around your home. Finally, if you make sure that your old landline is physically and electrically disconnected from the outside connections to your old landline provider (for safety and functional reasons), you can connect the phone jack on the OOMA base to a wall phone jack and plug in any corded phones into wall jacks around the rest of the house.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The HD3 phones are wireless like any other cordless phone. You only need a place to charge them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Ooma handsets use Bluetooth to connect to the base. Their support said it has a range of 300' (open air so the actual range will depend on building materials in your house). You can connect a normal handset to the base with an RJ11 cord.
