How is Ooma Telo different from a traditional copper landline?

Unlike copper landlines that depend on physical telephone wiring, Ooma Telo uses your internet connection to place calls. This allows for lower ongoing costs, modern calling features, and improved flexibility. You don’t need a phone company technician or dedicated phone line — everything runs through your existing internet service.
