Many individuals are looking to residential VoIP options like Ooma as a landline alternative. Even with the rise of mobile use, millions of Americans still want to keep a home VoIP phone for several reasons. Here are a few common ones: 

• Call blocking: Landlines are notorious for pesky telemarketing calls. Ooma’s powerful customizable system blocks more than 1 million telemarketing calls each month, something you typically can’t get with landline service. 
• Call quality: Ooma’s PureVoice technology ensures that calls are always crystal-clear. And, Ooma’s HD capabilities capture twice as much audio content compared to landlines. 
• Pricing: Ooma’s Basic Service lets you make unlimited nationwide calls for free (all you pay are taxes and fees), while Ooma’s Premier Service costs less than $10 per month, plus applicable taxes and fees. Compared to landlines, you can save thousands per year by making the switch.

Yes! Keeping your old phone number is easy with Ooma. All you have to do is log in to your My Ooma account, navigate to the Add-Ons tab and select the Number Port option. You’ll next have to provide some information, including the number you want to port, the type of phone number it is and the type of internet service you have. Next, you’ll need to fill out an online Letter of Authorization (LOA) form, which lets Ooma begin the number porting process from your old service provider. There are some things to keep in mind before you port: Do not cancel your old phone service before your number is ported. If you do, your old provider could put your phone number back into the pool of available numbers before Ooma has a chance to transfer it. Number porting with Ooma has a one-time fee of $39.99. However, this fee is waived if you subscribe to one year of Ooma Premier service. Ooma Premier is $9.99 a month and comes with advanced features like Enhanced Caller ID and the ability to block telemarketers, robocalls and spammers. Note: Porting phone numbers from area codes in Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico has an annual charge of $29.99 per year. This annual fee is waived for Ooma Premier members.
