Ooma Phone Genie VoIP Internet Home Phone Service

I've already recommend this to several people. The service plans range from $6 to $20. it does start off with $20 but I got to changed to $6. but you do have to call to make that change. I got to pick my phone %23 and So far it has worked like a charm.

This is my second Telo. No, there wasn't a thing wrong with the first; the house just happened to burn down around it. Anyway, there is nothing about these gizmos that isn't superlative. Hardware-reliable, excellent sound quality (especially compared to cellular calling), a nice web interface when needed (rarely--I just needed to look up when I made a few calls). Ah, but you're wondering: Is it really "free?" As free as anything gets these days, which is to say that if there were no government, the monthly cost would be $0. In my area, the various regulatory fees amount to $6.71 a month. That's all I pay. Now, I paid QUITE a bit more for my first Telo. At $29.99 I hesitated milliseconds to buy another (I've been "landline"-less since the fire). You should be even faster. Get you some nice cordless phones and stop using up your cellphone battery at home (nothing like running out of the house and seeing you're at 15%--you'll probably be fine, but imagine the comfort of running out with 85%!). Get better sound quality. One recommendation, though: Get a 12" Ethernet cable from eBay or something. You don't need the included 3' cable to connect to your router: They're going to be within 3' of each other and reducing that to 12" reduces cable clutter handily.

This is what it is supposed to be. All the parts and directions where packed in the box and new. As for the product, I hooked it up with no problem. I just got Starlink to replace a barely working Frontier IPS that gave me less than 1MB and now I have 50MB for the first time ever. To completely get away from Frontier Communications I had to get rid of the landline phone service. I live in the boonies and am at an age with no real family or friends so never got into cell phone. I just canceled the phone after I ported my original phone number with OOMA. So far it is working great. No scam calls and that was almost the only thing I was getting. Silence is golden, I hope I don't have to update this post because it is a wonderful change and after initial purchase will only cost the amount of taxes to your calls. FREE except for the people who have there fingers in everything.

So far, so good. I got this for mom to work with the Clear Captions phone with speech to text of calls. The Ooma service is clearer than the Straight Talk service she had previously. The Straight talk was cheaper at only $50 per year but the call was scratchy and not as clear as the Ooma calls. We did not have access to the voicemail on Straight Talk either.

1. it advertises as FREE second number but only if you buy a LINKS device. 2. they should have a way to connect your old number to the new device even before the number is ported. 3. And it should NOT take 3 weeks to activate your old number on the Ooma Phone Genie

We switched to netspeed, for our net access provider. They wanted to charge ~$29/ month - to add a VOIP phone line. ABSURD fee. I bought the Ooma for a unit cost of ~$30, (delivered) To use their unit there is ~$6 /mth required reg fees, taxes etc The Ooma voice quality is superb. EASY to do the initial install Only negative was the INEPT Wlamart delivery - very late

very easy to set up and use, but only works as good as your internet ,if your single is weak the phone will cut out but if good single it works as well anx has more benefits and much cheaper than any line phone company, i had century link they use to be good but have so many outages love this now

Box not opened. Called Ooma to activate but they said this item requires Premium type Ooma service for $9.99 per month, however, box shows $9.88 per month plus additional fees and taxes. Ooma has bad customer service only available Mon to Fri. Decided not to use Ooma service as not worth monthly charges.

Well, I bought the device and I paid the fees to turn it on and it was on for a few days and the website said I had to pay more money so I was totally missed and it only worked for a few days for $19.99. I may return it today until I make a decision because they will not give me the activation fee back. I can't afford to just give Ooma or anyone else money for nothing.

Beware of this device, it is not a standard ooma service. It is permanently attached to a premier plan, but unlike the regular premier plan, this cannot be downgraded to basic service and you do not get free number port in service. What you save in the device, costs you for the port in.
