    This promotion has expired… is there a replacement? I have already referred two family/friends to purchase ooma… after July 11th.

  2. dennis.peng says:

    We’ve just extended it to the end of the month. Purchases between July 12 and July 31st now qualify. Thanks for your referrals!

  3. interested says:

    Does ooma have to be purchased from these locations, or purchases from costco.com also qalify? (None of the locations listed is close to our location).

  4. dennis.peng says:

    For the current referral program, only units purchased from one of the Costco stores qualifies. Unfortunately, this excludes purchases from Costco.com. We will be announcing availability of ooma product in more Costco stores soon – hopefully to a store near you.

    Your “details” link:
    “For more details or to redeem your reward, please visit http://www.ooma.com/referafriend.“,
    now just says “the program has expired”.
    Since the program is extended for a few more days, can you tell us the details on redeeming the reward again?

  7. dennis.peng says:

    Sorry, the link expired accidently. We have fixed this, so you can now go to the page for details about the program.

    I went to Costco at Alhambra, CA on 07/26/2009. I looked for ooma all over the store but couldn’t find it. So I asked their service staff and their answer was that there was no such promotion, and they checked the computer that this item is only online at Costco.com. Does anyone know about this? I feel confused.

  9. interested says:

    The link mentioned on http://www.ooma.com/referafriend
    links to http://www.ooma.com/buy/where_to_buy_costco.php. There are much more than 20 locations on that map. Are these locations that will be having ooma in store?

  10. VBob says:

    @Angus

    We’re looking into the Alhambra Costco and should have an update by early next week. The product may not have been placed on the floor yet at this store.

    @interested

    As you’ve noticed from the map, ooma is available in additional Costco stores — I’ll post an update to the blog post with the additional details.

  11. interested says:

    so, now that ooma is available in more than the 20 original stores – are purchases from those other stores also eligable for referral? If yes, how would one enter it on the referral for (drop-down box only has 20 original sotres)?

  12. dennis.peng says:

    Yes, we just pushed an update to the referral page to expand eligibility to include the new stores. The referral form now allows you to type in the store location. An update to the blog will be posted shortly.

  13. dennis.peng says:

    @Angus, we got some pictures of our display in the Alhambra store. It is tucked under laptop display shelf. There should be a recordable CD display right next to it. Let us know if you can find it!

  14. Kenny says:

    Does anyone know the Costco item number so I can call ahead, and have them check their stock. If any of you have purchased it locally at a store it should be on the recipt the number will work nationally.

  15. dennis.peng says:

    Here is the Costco item number: 430992

  16. Kenny says:

    Thanks! Dennis I’ll call them in the morning I think I’ll pick up one ASAP, I have a feeling they are going to sell out fast.

  17. Aloha Bob says:

    I see they are selling them in Hawaii does this mean they now have 808 area codes?

  18. I just posted a funny joke about waiting in line at COSTCO. Read it here:

    @Aloha Bob

    Yes, we currently have numbers in Honolulu — check out the “Port or Choose a New Number” link at http://www.ooma.com/learn on the left side to check.

  20. Kenny says:

    Got my Ooma today had to drive to Chula Vista, CA 45mins one way to a Costco near the Mexican boarder, the sad thing is I live only three blocks from a store here in Carlsbad,CA (San Diego County) I heard from so many vendors that do road shows that the Carlsbad store is the best store in the county to sell anything from little gaint ladders to Vita-Mix Blenders I hope you guys a Ooma make note of this, By the way the CEO of Costco Jim Sinegal has a home here in Salona Beach . and shops at the Carlsbad Store if you want to sell tons of these Ooma I’d find a way to get them n the Carlsbad store.

  21. Jackie says:

    I just got my Ooma at Costco.com it’s a better value you get the Ooma core along with the Scout for 229.00 the scout will give me a extra phone line for only 99 bucks a year. I have kids that need that line so they won’t tie up the main line. Were currently paying 90 bucks a month to AT&T I’m going to fire them on Monday.

  22. Howard says:

    I have a Ooma core and scout right now would it be possible to add one Core and scout so I could have four separate phone lines. from the same DSL/Router connection this would be the prefect set up for me. four lines.

  23. dennis.peng says:

    Yes, you can operate multiple ooma devices in the same location provided you have sufficient bandwidth for all those lines. The Scouts need to be installed on separate wiring (you could wire one set on line 1 and another set on line 2). You would also need a router to connect the two Hubs at the same time, it’s not a good idea to daisy-chain the Hubs together.

  24. Howard says:

    Can I run a different core and scout on the DSL line. In other words 2 cores two scouts all at the same time

  25. Howard says:

    I’m going to try it in a few days and report back. I will be using one router and upgradeing my DSL bandwith
