Customer Ratings & Reviews

I think this is our third unit - each has died shortly after the warranty expired. In fairness, usually after some sort of power event, but they were plugged into a UPS. The call quality is great and it's pretty easy to set up. Getting customer service to transfer your number to a new unit, is a whole different matter. When you mention the directions on the website, they tell you to do exactly the opposite.

Installing this unit is a snap, disconnect outside landline, run network line to your router, run from telephone jack to unit, sign up online and your up and running. Best thing is forwarding your home phone calls to your cell phones and the price under $5 a month local and long distance, I also hooked it up to my alarm system to call me in the event of an alarm. Should have done this a long time ago.

Works just fine. Great option if you are not set to give up the landline.

Setup next to your home router, plug in with ethernet, and use a 1-5 handset DECT 6.0 system, and BOOM, you have a high quality landline phone anywhere in the house with a monthly cost of less than $9/month (you pay regulatory fees plus any international calls - if you enable those). Great service, great call blocking/filtering, voicemail included, 5/5.

I've been using my Ooma service for three weeks now. I am SO PLEASED with this device. It is easy to setup. Just follow the setup guide that comes with the box and go to their website for the initial activation. Once that's done simply connect Ooma to your router and your phone to Ooma. 1. The only cost I pay monthly is $3.82 for government taxes required to use 911 emergency services. 2. The call quality is excellent. 3. You get caller ID, call waiting, and voicemail all for free 4. You get to choose from a list of available local phone numbers (I even ported or use my current number instead for $39.95 for a one time fee 5. Came in secure packaging with easy to follow instructions. 6. The lighted design on the top lets you know at a glance if your service is connected by shining an electric blue color. The small "play" button lights up orange when you have voicemail so you can easily see if you have new messages. 7. You are limited to five thousand minutes a month but you can pay the extra $10 per month for the premier level . Two people can simultaneously make outgoing calls (if you buy their $50 HD cordless handset)... Just as if you had two separate phone lines. Lots of perks that may or may not be worth the extra $10/month.

I recently switched from AT&T to Ooma and have cut my phone bill about 90%. The setup was extremely simple if you want Ooma to assign you a new phone number. I opted to pay the additional $40 to "port" my existing home phone number to Ooma which took about 10 days to transfer over. The only complaint is that the audio lag is about 1/10th of a second - not noticable to most though. Also, the buttons on the Ooma Telo box lag (e.g. voicemail playback, next, etc.) for a half-second or so. But overall, good product!

The Ooma setup is pretty easy, especially if you pick a new number. You can keep your old number for an extra fee but the number has to be kept activated under the change is made. This apparently can take some time, at least in some cases. Quality of calls is excellent, and you can easily hook up a conventional phone. No problems so far though I have only had in operation a couple of weeks.

We switched to AT&T Fiber and dropped cable Internet and their home phone service. Purchased the Ooma Telo and the Premier service for a year. That got our number ported over in a short time. Call quality is excellent, and the features with Premier is impressive.

I switched to ooma after using Comcast digital voice for many years and very pleased with ooma. The voice quality & features with ooma are excellent. I went with the premium service for the extras (mainly caller blacklist) and also the free number porting. The ooma setup & number porting were simple. However Comcast took their time (several weeks) to process the porting on their end. For a high quality home phone solution at a low cost ooma is a great choice.

My old one at least 10 years broke after a power outage. It was pretty reliable. Bought this new hub. Replacing the old one with this was easy peasy. Provided some unit specific detail to the ooma rep via online chat. Less than a 24 hours later, the new unit was online and operational.

Replaced my phone service from cable provider. Signed up for premiere service with Ooma. Great features and saved $$$. The Telo works as advertised. No regrets with the change.

Crystal clear calls on t-mobile home internet even!

Great product and service! I purchased this afternoon my family recommended it to me. It has been very reliable, easy to set up and a great value. You can't go wrong with this service.

Mostly got this for blacklisting nuisance calls and I have not been disappointged, subscribed to the premier service which already blocks known numbers, and I can include many more. Monthly phone service runs under 4.00 per month.

For a technology challenged person like myself, it was easy to set up! Works great!

This has been a good service so far. We converted from another VOIP from our cable provider. I use the premium service so that I can go online and work on blocking calls which is reasonably OK, but the online web interface is extremely dated and clunky overall.

If you are looking for a phone system with minimal costs, this is huge savings over standard phone carriers. The device does exactly what you want, and Ooma costs so much less than AT&T, Verizon, Xfinity, etc. Easy to set up, was up and running in 10 minutes.

Ooma's setup suggests that the best location for this Ooma unit is between your cable modem and your router - it isn't, if you have anything faster than 100 Mbps (I have 500 Mbps). The Ooma is only good to 100 Mbps, so ALL of your internet will be slowed to 100 Mbps if you use their suggested setup. Just plug it into a spare router LAN connection and let it go to work. Why they continue to suggest their old placement, with most cable and fiber ISP's now far exceeding 100 Mbps, is a mystery. Additionally, I found Best Buy for my purchase through Ooma, who claimed that I would be credited $50 in my account by going through a friend's referral to them. I have the $50, and probably will have it for years to come, because the account they put it in can only be used to pay international charges and for optional equipment. I had to pay the porting fee to keep my number - almost $50 (would've been nice to apply it there). I fully understand a credit only for Ooma's services or products, but to then add additional narrow restrictions that it becomes virtually unusable for many people is misleading, at best. On the plus side, the audio quality is great (50 Mbps upload speed for my ISP). The porting of my number was fast and Ooma was accurate as to the final date. Paying just the monthly taxes for phone service is a huge reduction in my annual cost (a savings of close to $500), especially now that AT&T is trying to wiggle out of maintaining their landlines here in CA. I think the monthly taxes I'm paying are less than the fee AT&T wanted each month for Caller ID, which is free with Ooma. I use my own cordless phone with voicemail/caller ID instead of Ooma's system. I tested it and Ooma's works fine, but I'm already used to my system, so I'm staying with it. Ooma does let you do more with their web and cellphone app, but I don't need any of that - yet. Maybe after I get used to using my home phone again, it will be an advantage. If you want an alternative phone to a cellphone (great when cell service is down), this is an excellent, inexpensive way to go - just don't count on Ooma's "free" $50 to help you out on the startup costs. 5 stars minus 1 for the setup flaw and $50 vaporcash.

This works just fine and at $10 a month for Premier instead of AT&T's $90 a month, it is great! I like the idea of having the option of a second phone number too, for no extra charge. There are a bunch of options we don't even use, yet.

Looks nice, good quality, easy to set up and use, voice quality is clear with no dropped calls so far. I have no complaints so far. The monthly fees & taxes are less than $8 per month. Should have switched years ago rather than keeping home phone as part of a cable TV bundle.
