Summer Savings: Ooma Refer a Friend Program

June 1st, 2010 @ 7:11 pm

We’re turning up the heat this summer with a special Refer-A-Friend Reward program. Share some summer savings with a gift of free calling to your family and friends while earning rewards.

When you refer a friend, you won’t just be doing them a favor, you’ll be doing yourself a favor too. Your friend will get $50 off the Ooma Telo and you’ll receive a $25 gift card to Amazon.com.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Go to the Refer a Friend page on My Ooma to share your referral codes with your friends and family. Everyone has three referral codes to send out.
  2. When your friend uses the referral code you sent, they’ll see a $50 discount in their shopping cart. Each code can only be used once.
  3. When your friend completes their purchase, you’ll earn a $25 Amazon gift card! Check back on My Ooma to to see how many gift cards you have earned.

For all the program details, visit the My Ooma Refer a Friend page.

Thank you,

Team Ooma

Today, we’re excited to announce several new enhancements and increased functionality for the award winning Ooma Telo.

Call clarity and quality just got better with Ooma PureVoice Technology.

Are you tired of listening to voicemails? With Ooma’s new voicemail transcriptions feature, never listen to a voicemail again! At its core, the service converts Ooma voicemail messages into text and delivers to a mobile phone or email account associated with the Ooma profile. Benefits of Ooma Voice-to-Text:

  • Quickly see who called and what they called about
  • No need to write down phone number or directions — it’s all there in your inbox
