“If you use the premium service, you said you can use your cell phone with it...so can you dump your cell phone provider and use this, or will this only work on your cell phone in your home?”

Sounds like your question should have been directed to Ooma Customer Service. I received this question because I had reviewed the Ooma Telo device. I don't see an option to actually USE your cellphone with this device. With premium service you have the option to download a smart phone app that will allow you to receive notifications on your cellphone. Ooma also offers an extra cost device ($100 - $120) that requires additional monthly charges ($5) for service that allows the Ooma device to work thru a cell network. This would mean your home phones would connect to the Ooma Telo and the Telo would connect to a cell network in place of the internet in the case of Internet outage or power outage. Theoretically it sounds like you could use this in place of an internet connection (for phone service only) within your home. I see no mention of anything that can replace your cell phone provider for calling services to and from your cellphone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, Ooma premier cannot replace your cell phone wireless provider. Ooma can simply forward calls to your cell phone or any other phone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ooma is NOT a replacement for your cell phone carrier. This feature merely allows you to answer your Ooma landline number thru the app on your cell phone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe you need an app to use it with your smartphone at home. Needs WiFi though or a data plan.
