I needed Starlink as well. You connect the Ooma to Starlink modem/router with the included patch cable, just as you would connect a computer. You can get an Ooma phone or use your own phone. I connected the Ooma to my house phone connection jack (with a normal phone cable), then my current (regular phone(s)) can then be connected to the other house wired phone jacks. You have to make sure the house is then disconnected from any phone company connections to your house. This is (typically) just one connection to a little box outside your house.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The OOMA will accept any analog phone. So you can use a standard land line phone, or a cordless landline system. The output of the OOMA is a analog system designed to allow old school analog phones to use VoIP without requiring an old school phone line. You should also be able to port your old landline phone number or choose a new one if you prefer, or do not have one. You mayfind that there is a slight delay since you are using Starlink, and perhaps a bit of echo, due to the latency of satellite Internet services
