I have had Ooma since 2011 and I can't say enough good about it. Easy set up and great features. I subscribed to the premier about one year in just to support their business model. I just upgraded to the new Telo air this week and am adding the security features. The Ooma dashborad on the internet is really a great tool. It's really handy to not have to have a phone jack where you need a handset, because the handsets are wireless. You only need a 110 outlet for charging.
MR. KENT LAU I NEED TO THANK YOU FOR I WAS OUT OF MY OOMA SERVICE FOR ABOUT A WEEK BUT LOOKING AT YOUR VIDEO I WAS ABLE TO FIX MY PROBLEM. GOD BLESS YOU!
got ooma last summer. i needed a landline i could count on for health reasons (and since i get sh*tty cell coverage here, was lucky to receive or send call/text on them so they werent an option), but health is no longer the case. meantime i was paying over $30/mo for stripped down basic very limited landline to make maybe 6 calls/mo. had a brainfart, did a bit of research, watched a vid or two here, ponied up only $79 on amazon for this same basic system w no wireless. first day or so it took a bit to get used to and for the system to settle in. but since then its been one of the best decisions i ever made. i have only 12mbps internet, but i watch live streaming tv online, play online mmo's AND receive calls all at the same time with absolutely no problem. once in a great while you may find a sort of fuzzy sounding caller, but in 6mos its been maybe 2x, and you have to consider it may be their cellphone too, not you. the system is optimised, or tweaked, to do you right; if you look into it they have cellphone service, business service & other things too. premier is awesome if you need it, but i dont. in other words, this isnt that magic jack bullsh*t, these people did it right with the basic and do US right by making it even better with the other added very cheap services. and basic is just as Kent said, my bill every month is a little over $4/tx/mo, thats it. no service charge, no mysterious charges, nothing. still not sure? think of it this way; if you get a cable tv/internet/phone package from say att, thats all through internet, streamed to your home. that phone is VOIP, same as this ooma. there is absolutely no difference between ooma and att VOIP. ah, one difference; the price. ones free.
I was spending about $60 a month for phone..$30 was taxes and additional cost. (??) Anyway, I have had my OOMA now for about 6 years. AWESOME. Pay $3.45 a month (State Taxes only). Its a great way to keep a home phone. I love it.
Thank you for the video it was short but informative. We have a digitally antenna and we cut the cord with cable a few years ago... So now we're trying to save a few more dollars each month with our phone bill again thank you.
Before you plug Ooma into your phone jack, you definitely should disconnect the wires coming into your house from your land line service. There is voltage on the wires while you have service, and possibly after you cancel the service. The voltage on the wires are is low so there no danger of you getting shocked or starting a fire but you don't want the land lines circuits outside your home connected to Ooma. Tape each wire end as you remove them to prevent them from touching and shorting out.
I've been using the basic service for 7 years, since 2014. Call quality is as good as any traditional landline. My monthly cost is $7. I bought a used unit and it's never failed.
LOL, Best part I had 5-7 years older Dlink wifi adapter I tried and it recognized and just add wifi password and worked. lesson learned don't need wifi adapter from Ooma brand only. and connect only by @t method
I have had the Ooma system for over 5 years. Best investment that I ever made! For people like me who have to have a landline at their home, this is the solution. Cost much less than paying for landline service through a phone company. Bye bye, AT&T!
Risk of fire? LOL.. Maybe if lightning happens to hit the lines and make it back to your equipment. Basically your just isolating it from the old Telco analog lines at the Demarc to avoid interference or foreign voltages coming back to your unit.
I am hearing impaired. Wear dual hearing aids that are blue tooth compatible. Question is "why" doesn't Ooma offer blue tooth compatibility with people like me that need blue tooth to do be compatible with our hearing aids??? I have blue tooth to my car radio...why not the damn Ooma phone???
Kent, Nice job on your video! You are way above average in your presentation. I currently have DSL and wireline phone service from CenturyLink. I'd like to replace the wireline service with Ooma so I can't just disconnect their incoming line. What would I have to do instead? Any ideas are appreciated.
Kent, thanks for the reveiw, I noticed the cable you show for the ethernet connection between the OOMA box and the cable modem is the wrong type. You show a flat 8 conductor telco cable. You need to use an ethernet Cat5e or better cable for ethernet connections. That is probably why your performance was terrible when you connected the OOMA in another room.
Thank you for this review. I am not sure what you were saying about disconnecting the phone line. I no longer have phone service with a provider. Is it safe to connect this system to my router?
Hi, need a little help. First, I want all my phones in the house to work off the ooma. Now, my question. My phone base unit is next to my router and the phone is connected to the wall jack. How do I connect the ooma device and the phone to the same wall jack?
HI Mate. thanks for your time and detail explanations, I am just interested in if I buy Ooma, and very soon i am going abroad for vacation can i activate my ooma account from abroad ? Or i have to be in United states to activate my Ooma account ? and second question : If i have ooma account,whic provides you ooma free Number, and i download ooma mobile app, where i have mobile sim card, how does this system be working ? thanks in advanced myriad time
I just checked the Ooma website, and they say your existing landline phone can be used with Ooma. Their handset might have some features that your existing phone might not have, though. So compare what your existing phone can do vs. what an Ooma handset can do, and decide if you want to spend extra on one of their handsets -- which are NOT required to use Ooma.
You mentioned your internet service was somewhat slower. I have a rural internet service varying between 2 - 4 gig which is enough for streaming and surfing. Any idea is this band width will allow for Ooma without impacting other internet users in the house?
If your phone service is provided by Frontier and is part of a "Triple Play" bundle...how do you disconnect it? There isn't a separate phone line like with Bell Tell .
Hey Kent, great video. Question... Currently I have Comcast Triple Play and I am considering buying the Ooma to potentially downgrade to just internet and TV. Currently my house is wired so that there are 3 different phone lines throughout the house ready to be used. If I understood your video correctly, all I would have to do is plug one of the wall lines into the Ooma, and disconnect the phone line from the actual Comcast box outside? And by doing that, each outlet throughout the house will work through Ooma? Because if that is the case that'd be perfect. Just let me know what you think!
Kent Lau That's great news. Thanks for the quick response. Last question for ya... Haha. Is it easy to disconnect the phone line from the actual Comcast connection? It seems simple but now looking on line it seems a tad complicated.
Michael DeCicco it should be pretty straight forward. with trial and error, you can try disconnecting the line and check to see if the dial tone is gone in all your phones. If it is, then you're good to go. I'd try to do a few searches online to see if there's some threads that walk you through it. If all else fails, you can always call your company to disconnect it.
Kent, Thanks for the video. At your outside box where the main phone line comes to your house, did you wire things together to create a closed circuit of phone lines in your house or just physically disconnect from Ma'Bell?
According to your recomendation a phone line comes from wall to Ooma. How do you connect wired 2 line phone if Ooma has only one phone port connection in and no out..
Do i have to go into my new account to cancel the 10$ premium upgrade in order to not get charged, or do i have the option to deny when i set up my phone? Thank you for your video, im done with big company's charging me 35 plus a month.
Will you be able to send and receive faxes with this device? Also I have a home in Florida and I do not have a landline hookup. I have comcast cable and internet. Would I be able to take my phone number that I have now on the landline here and use it in Florida to receive digital faxes?
How does this affect your GB usage with your internet provider. We are on a fixed amount per month so if we go over, there is an extra charge. We need to factor this into our calculations.
It really depends on how much you use it...but in general it doesn't take a lot of bandwidth...for sure it takes up a lot less data than watching a Netflix show...
Ooma's phone is pre configured with compressed bandwidth technology, meaning, it will only require 0.5 mbps for you to use the service! Let me know how to help you. DM me.. Thanks!
Hello Kent, can I use this system to send and receive fax using a standard fax machine? Also, how do I connect it to my Uverse Modem? Currently my phone connection comes out of the Uverse Router and I have it distributed throughout my house to connect my analog wireless phones and fax machine.
Gary, I also have Uverse with my Telo and connect it to my fax. I use a splitter where my phone and fax line go into the Telo. The Telo instructions will walk you through setup with your Uverse
I bought one and I am totally dissatisfied! I went through the registration and maybe it was close to completion I don't know but the whole process just STOPPED....I CAN NOT access my account and there is no one available to alk to because they have 9 to 5 business hours! It is a holiday so it will likely be days before I can use the phone and service I PAID FOR!! Absolutely inexcusably SUCKS....and trust me I tried HARD to reset the password etc It simply wont accept ANYTHING....it too my friggin credit card though!
Yes, regular corded or cordless. If you are going to use a Telo, the easiest way is to have your local phone company to come out and disconnect your home from the local hook up. Once that is done, you can plug your phone cord in to the ooma and then in to a wall jack for your phone, this will feed your ooma signal to every phone jack in your house without interference from the local phone companies system. You then plug any phone in to any of the available phone jacks in your house and there you have it. My home is set up like this. ATT disconnected our condo from the main pots line over 8 years ago, our ooma is connected to our house phone jacks as described, and everything works like it should. Unless you see the ooma or are told it is not a normal phone line, you would never know.
Mike Crabtree this message was EXTREMELY helpful in understanding what’s involved. My parents would benefit from Ooma but I need to know all the kinks in what’s involved before I recommend it because I do not live close to them. This video and specifically this comment cleared up a lot for me ! (I wonder how much most places charge to come out and disconnect. I imagine not much but if it’s like 99$ then on top Of the 129$ cost of an ooma) could be a problem . Thank you much !

I live in downstate IL, and apparently my monthly bill for Ooma Basic would be about $7.01; higher than what Ken pays, but not quite as high as what your bill would be. Still beats the dickens out of the $80 landline phone bill I just paid!
I got 2 telemarketing calls as soon as I plugged this thing up. I've had it 2 months now, and today was the worst. I got 6 telemarketing calls and 4 of them left voicemail. I've never even given this number out to anyone. I never got one telemarketing call with Magic Jack. Also, Ooma is only posting positive reviews from reviewers on their website. None of my reviews get published there. Now I've bought a cell phone and I use Ooma as my throw-away phone number. I've turned off the voicemail. So if you're looking for a cheap throw-away number, Ooma is definitely for you.
that's odd because when I had magicjack a few years back I would also get random calls has well this was when I had an us number even tho I'm canadian and know that they do offer canadian numbers.

According to your recomendation a phone line comes from wall to Ooma. How do you connect wired 2 line phone if Ooma has only one phone port connection in and no out..
It is Ooma to wall phone port, then you can now connect your phone/s to the rest of your home wall phone ports.
I have same issue. Per tech support, you need business system (has 2 ports) to use a 2-line phone. Residential phone system only has 1 open port.

I don't see why it wouldn't work for a fax. You would connect this system to one of your wall outlets. Then all your wall outlets become live.
I have it set up where the modem is connected ooma, and ooma is connected to a wall outlet. My phones are connected to the wall outlets

Is the phone line plugged into a jack nearby? Or does it have to be plugged into a phone base? Thanks!
okayl
The phone has to be plugged directly to the Ooma and the Ooma has to be plugged to the router.
Thanks, very helpful

My security system is plugged into phone line. If Ooma feeds to every phone jack, then I am assuming my security system will too. Am I correct
Richard Holte yes that is correct. Which means that your security system will depend on the reliability of your internet
Check out Simplisafe, its a wireless security system and doesn't need a phone line. Plus it is only $14.95 a month.
Does it work with fax machines.?
yes
How did you get your phone number?
how do you have it setup in your router? I had mine connect to my router but I couldn't make out going calls. could never get it too work.
