What is the estimated "life cycle" for the ooma device? $250 may be OK if I can have any guarantee that the service will be in business for at least 5-6 years, otherwise it makes more sense to just stick with my Packet8 for $14/month Free service “for the life of the device.” – what does that mean?

I thought that was a good price point for me to take the plunge. After reading thru the manuals, I've come to the conclusion that all I would need to use is the ooma hub since I already own a multi handset cordless phone (with an answering machine). Perhaps there are other users out there opting for the same configuration. Do you think selling the ooma hub without the scout can get ooma to a lower price point and into the hands of more customers? Just a thought. BTW.. after 2 days of using the service I'm very impressed with the voice quality on both ends of the call. I hope ooma succeeds and will be telling all of my techie friends about ooma.

I just bought the unit from Best Buy and my wife wants me to return it unless I can address this key feature. She likes the "in-the-cloud" service concept and doesn't want to worry about another box in the house. It complicates her life too much and she likes the analog phones I've hard wired to every room from my 110 punch down block. Hay it's Linux Dude...just some simple code and a little QA oughta do the trick. I'll hide the hub in my MDF and you help me make it look and feel like AT&T. Deal? Chris. Hi

If you do not subscribe to Premier services, you can still use the Scout to extend the voicemail functions throughout your home. Thanks, Bobby Hello Salvatore,

I have no need for the Scout but I can't buy the hub by itself. You should consider there are many potential users if you broaden the choices. Right now they are to restrictive. I'm not going to buy a package if I can't use the Scout. If I use the scout, I must subscribe to the premier service, is that right?

Check out the question "Can I use a Fax machine with my ooma system?" on our learn FAQ page: http://www.ooma.com/learn/ooma_faq.php Also, with the purchase of the ooma system, you can select one phone number to use. If you choose to subscribe to our enhanced calling services with ooma Premier, you'll get another phone number with the option to assign it to a Personal ooma Device (e.g. a private extension). Some customers have used this feature to create a dedicated fax line. Also as an ooma Premier user, you'll have the option to add additional phone numbers ( up to 8 ) for $4.95/mo. Thanks, Bobby Hi Vic,

At $12.95/month or $99/yr (which works out to about $8/month), we believe ooma Premier offers a great all-in-one value. That being said, we'll continue to evaluate how we can offer the best value for our customers. Also regarding your ooma Hub's location to a phone jack -- some users have used home plug units (which runs your network signaling over your home power wiring) to locate the ooma Hub nearer to a phone jack so they can use the ooma Scout. This might be an acceptable workaround for your setup. Feel free to give our support team a call for more information. -Bobby Hi Kevin, thanks for your feedback.
