Save a lot with Ooma basic service.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. Porting my number went smoothly and on time. I cant tell the difference between ooma & AT&T After the initial purchase, and the cost of porting the number I will be saving big time. I was paying $37 and change with AT&T and will be paying $6.11 a month with the basic service.

Excellent VOIP Phone with Crystal Clear Voice qual
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have replaced with OOMA from carrier phone service. I am really impressed with call quality with OOMA. It is very easy to setup and able to port my existing number within 10 days. It has built in QOS and you may need to disable if your router has QOS to avoid conflict. I am happy that OOMA able to cut down my phone charges more than 90%. I would definitely recommend this product for those paying more amount every month on home phones.

Great Product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased Ooma Telo after much research in home network phone systems. I did try another network phone system and the pricing was just as much as phone service from my local phone company! I was first told about this product from my IT guy at work. Great sound quality, great customer service. Best of all after the initial cost of the Ooma Telo it was extremely less costly than conventional or any other internet phone service. Check out what it would cost you at: http://www.ooma.com/savings/ scroll to the bottom of the page. There you can enter your zip code and it will tell you what your monthly bill will be. Mine is $3.84!

Greatsoundquality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read several articles on Ooma and got recommendation from neighbor, who loves his. We previously had Verizon home phone and the sound quality with them wasn't very good. The Ooma phone sound is crystal clear and no dropped calls so far. I also love that it only costs me $5.88/month for unlimited US calls! I would recommend getting the Wifi adapter (another $50) unless you want to be limited to hardwiring the phone to your Internet modem.

Call quality is okay, but the company is shady
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was an Ooma customer for several years, having ported my number over from AT&T. That was a drastic shift of about $45/month to $4. Call quality was satisfactory, unless you were talking to another Ooma customer. It was consistently difficult to understand the other person, and it went on for at least several months. This didn't happen with other cell or landline users. Being that we rarely used even the Ooma service, I wanted to port over to Google Voice and an Obihai Obi200 device so my service would be free. You need to know your account number, PIN and zip code in order to make a port request. And that's where things get really sticky with Ooma. They intentionally play dumb or give you incorrect information when you ask for this, and none of it is what you think. It took FOUR calls from me and THREE calls from T-Mobile to get a correct information from them. And it wasn't just a misunderstood digit or something - they were giving me 12 digits for a 9 digit account number and things like that. Understanding the typical thick Indian accent was yet another challenge. Thankfully, I was porting to T-mobile and they were incredibly patient and helpful through the ordeal. (Google Voice can't port numbers directly from non-cell numbers, so I had to temporarily port to a prepaid T-mobile number, then port to Google Voice. But that's another story.) Given Ooma's business practices of trying to effectively hold your phone number hostage, or reports of customers being billed repeatedly after cancelling service, I cannot recommend Ooma even though their service was otherwise decent.

International calling was good for 2.5 years
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a member since 2019 till I canceled last night. For 2.5 years the service worked great. Never any issues with calling domestically in the US or Canada. While Canada is not domestic don't see it as international. Around two months back calling India started having issues. The landline at my parents would never ring though ooma would try to make the call. We figured India is having an issue. Then we good annoyed so we called the Mobile line from WhatsApp and dialed the Landline again via Ooma no ring was received at my parents. Many would say just dial the mobile number. True to do so but parents are old so Landline is still a must. So then called Ooma and canceled also we were paying too much around $34 dollars with taxes. Billing which is outsourced and the people are also WFH could hear kids in the background did not care to retain the customer but were nice not annoy me with we are this we offer this.. On a good note unlike Vonage one can keep the device and reactive it later. Moved to an app this morning Rebtel and its working. Even informs one that landline is busy call later. We confirmed it by calling on the mobile phone as well. The reason I am not recommending this as the price is too high for unlimited international calling to the countries offered. I am sure Rebtel or others are cheaper for $10 dollars a month. Even T-Mobile offers something similar but mobile phones are not included yet for India on the T-Mobile $10 offer.

Pretty good. Would recommend to friends.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We've had OOMA for several years. Overall, we are quite pleased. o Voice quality is good. It's much better than cellphones. o The website allows you to selectively block all calls except those in your contact list. Blocked calls can either be routed to voicemail or given a "phone number disconnected" message if you want. We really like this feature. o Works fine with a cordless home system. Am not sure if it has enough power to work with a house with older style wired telephones. o BIGGEST COMPLAINT is that the Telo units only last a few years. We've had to replace them twice in the last ~5 years. o BEWARE: cost is not "free". While the _basic_ OOMA service is free, they have to charge about $6 per month for the 911 service and taxes. It's not much, but expect to be charged this small amount every month on your credit card. o BEWARE: the basic service does not include voicemail. If you want that expect to pay ~$120 a year (one time charge??) o Overall, the OOMA telo is probably much cheaper than getting your phone through your cable or local telephone company, even with the "premium" package (voicemail, etc.)

Lower Cost Line Using Ooma
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ooma offers more features than the major carriers for less. For example, filtering unwanted calls is available at no extra cost. Yes, there is the initial cost of the device, however, once set up it works as promise with just the local fees (< $10) and the cost recovered in less than 6 months or so.

Rather switch than fight.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, I received the ooma a mere 1 1/2 days after I ordered it. 2ndly, it worked. (Per instructions, I did not plug it in until after I registered it.) Between following the quick start booklet and more detailed (and simple) on line instructions, it was in service. To clarify, it's been in service for only 3 weeks. 3rdly, the sound quality is great. Biggest bonus - I am no longer paying $85 a month for a land line.

Works well. Easy set up.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works perfectly. It was really easy to set up, just follow the guide. I used the website. I only use this as a home phone because I have really spotty cell service in my house and wifi calling doesn't even work correctly. This is a perfect as a home phone, now that we are post obi talk/google voice. The downside is the price, it's expensive, but I hope it pays itself off over the years.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ooma - Telo VoIP device has enabled me to cut the cord from my regular telephone services by connecting to my internet provider thus eliminating that bill. I am only billed for the applicable state and local fees associated with the regular phone service. The clarity, features and setup of this device has been seamless and will pay for it's self within a couple of months. I did'nt opt for the long distance at this time as it is covered through my cellular service.

Good alternative to replace the landline service
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looking for an alternative to landline to avoid the increasing prices, I received the box at home in a short time, it did not take me long to set up the Ooma Telo. So far I enjoyed the service.

Super Happy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This purchase was to replace an Ooma Telo that was damaged due to an electric surge during a storm. I’ve been a Ooma customer for many years and am extremely pleased with the device and service. The Telo is a versatile device, and it replaced my AT&T home service. I bought 2 Linc devices and the Premiere service to have 2 separate phone numbers for my coaching and consulting work. Customer service is always great. After the electric surge, I purchased a replacement unit, contacted Customer Service, and I was back in business in a matter of hours. I was kept informed throughout the process via chat and email. Will keep using Ooma!

Great service
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We haven't had a home phone for years, but I wanted to use one for my home business rather than using my cell. We had not heard of OOMA, but a friend had highly recommended it, so we bought a similar model to this one (ours was $159). We have had it for over a year now and have had NO problems with it at all. We have used other internet phones in the past and had very poor service, so we were a little apprehensive about the quality of service of OOMA. But we have great reception, clear calls, and would definitely recommend it. In fact we have recommended it to several of our friends.

This can't be beat
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently switched from voyage to Ooma. Best decision I ever made. Call quality is superior in every way. In my state the monthly phone tax is only 3.98 which beat the vonage $34 monthly fee. For an upgrade fee of 9.99 month you get tons of more features but the average joe will only need the basic setup which would only cost your local phone taxes. The setup was extremely easy. I even ported in my old vonage phone number. For me porting was free because I opted for the $100 upgrade because I do make a lot of long distance calls.

Ooma - Telo VoIP Home Phone Service
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I dropped my land line over a year ago and went with just my cell phone. The only problem I had was the cell phone wouldn't work in the basement were my office is. I came across this service and thought I would try it. After setting it up and then doing a chat with CS the box was activated. So far clear sound and works great. But if the internet goes down then it back to my cell phone. Other thoughts: read the instructions and follow them. Then to activate you do that over the internet. That was it, up and running.
