Ooma Telo VoIP Free Internet Home Phone Service and HD3 Handset. Affordable landline replacement. Unlimited nationwide calling. Call on the go with free mobile app. Can block Robocalls.

I love the service and it's only $7 a month. This allows us to keep our home phone service and not worry about the extra expense.I had to call customer service today due to static in the line. The agent was very helpful and walked me through resetting the system. He made sure the line was working properly by calling once I rebooted our modem and the Ooma device.

First of all I have had the Ooma Telo and four handsets for several months and they all work very well. I did have one issue and contacted tech support and they responded quickly and explained what I needed to do and it worked.Many features, but the one I like the most is call forwarding. I set it up so if someone calls my Ooma number, it rings. But if I don't answer it right away, it also rings my cell phone, so I don't miss any calls if I am away from home. If I am home I can answer with either the Ooma handset or the cell phone.But. There is a real problem. And it is not with Ooma. The problem is that some "organizations" like some banks, my apartment complex, etc., consider any VPN phone number to be invalid. That is just STUPID. It is valid. They may not like it, but it is valid. It works, and works very well.

So far, I am very happy with Ooma!! Shipping was fast, set up was super easy, and it only took maybe 10 days to transfer our number to Ooma even though they first estimated several weeks. They even sent me emails updating me on the progress of “porting” our number. The sound quality is pretty good. We have had AT&T for years and have had nothing but issues with them. We removed long distance from our home phone to save money, but when we tried to add it back the next year, we were told that offer had expired. So we had to stay with a basic line which rose up to $80 a month …… without long distance!!!! Also, without warning or notification, they dropped my lifeline discount and I didn’t even notice for almost a year until I became concerned with how high our bill was getting. I requested 5 times for them to send me the lifeline form so that I could get back the discount, and it was never sent to me. Enough was enough, and then I struck gold and discovered Ooma!! My only concern is during power outages in which we will not be able to dial out or receive calls. This really worries me because we live in fire country and it currently is fire season. We shall see!!

The service worked great for a few months and was convenient - then one day the phone service just stopped and there was no connectivity. We talked to several technical support folks on several occasions who sent us to our internet provider (Verizon) who told us there was no firewall issue on their side. To their credit Ooma offered to send us a replacement which we tried but still no luck. After six months of no connectivity and a flashing red light we finally decided to pull the plug. Ooma did refund our monthly service charges but they weren't willing to have us return the phone system to refund that so we're out the $90 we paid on the system.

Very reasonably priced! I had my phone with a well known carrier and it kept going up and up! Currently at $70/month. This is so much better and you can port a phone number you were using if you want.

So, I had to change my ISP because the service was awful. I was pretty happy with my POTS which also came from the same provider as my ISP. In the process they decided that POTS without internet would actually cost me MORE than POTS plus internet. So, I said goodby to a perfectly good POTS.My choices were then Ooma or my new ISP.Cost -My new ISP wanted to charge me pretty much the same for phone plus internet as my old one. I think the service would have been fine. However, to purchase a cable modem with phone capability would have been major $$$. Renting a cable modem with phone wasn't too bad but the payback for buying a modem and this Ooma is less than a year. Ooma charges only taxes for their basic service. In my case that is under ten dollars a month. If everything keeps working for 2-3 years I'm good. By then all the hardware will be obsolete anyway.Function -It works a little bit different than a traditional phone. You have to wait a second before it works using a handset. If you use the handset that comes from Ooma it doesn't seem to work for touch tone menus when you call places with automated systems. (I just use a standard handset when that is what I am doing. ) It also doesn't work with other phones as extensions. I have even used it to send FAXs.Now, here is the great part ... you can set up your cell phone so that it rings the same time as your Ooma. So, when I am on the road I still get calls just like I am home. I haven't tried it but I can place them too. However, you have to pay a little more each month for this service.Installation -Basically plug it into your modem and that's it. The handset requires you to push a button to link it to the base unit. You do have to create an account blah blah blah. Super easy. The absolute hardest part is unhooking your POTS from the line outside your house. If you do this and plug your Ooma into any outlet everything works just like it did before.You WILL need a UPS to keep things running in power outages. Ooma sell a battery but you will need to keep your modem going too. I just bought a big UPS and plugged both into it. I think it will last a few hours but I had a real hard time finding information about how long.What's Missing -SMS messaging. I know it isn't necessary but that would really make my day.Any place to get information on power requirements to use in selecting the right UPS.

Nice. With our Quantum Internet speed it is great. Even better is the UNLIMITED International calls for a very,,very low monthly charge. We also cut the cord on our land line. With OOMA we pay only taxes [<$7 a month). Quality of calls is excellent. With the upgrade to quantum, faster internet , less expensive phone fees more than offset the higher Quantum internet service. Stream movies and music with ease. It is great to have options to reduce our monthly bills yet have better service!
