FAQs
How long does setup usually take?
Setup typically takes just a few minutes. Once everything is connected and activated, you should hear a dial tone and be ready to make calls right away.
What equipment do I need?
You’ll need:
- A high-speed internet connection (such as Starlink) with router
- Ooma Telo base station
- A standard home phone handset
Once connected, your home phone works just like it always has.
Is Starlink required to use Ooma?
No. Starlink is not required. Ooma and other VoIP services work with most broadband internet connections, including cable, fiber, DSL, plus other satellite internet options like Starlink.
Can I use my existing home phones?
Yes. Most standard corded and cordless home phones work with Ooma. There is no need to buy special phones unless you want to.
Will my phone calls sound clear on Starlink?
Yes. Starlink provides more than enough internet speed for clear, natural-sounding phone calls. Ooma uses very little bandwidth, so conversations typically sound just like a traditional home phone.
Is VoIP reliable enough for everyday use?
Yes. Many people use VoIP over Starlink every day for regular calls and long conversations. When your Starlink connection is stable, your phone service is reliable as well.
But unstable connections can sometimes happen. With Ooma PureVoice™ technology, Ooma detects potential issues early and sends extra data to keep calls clear and smooth.
Will phone calls slow down my internet?
No. Phone calls use very little internet data. You can usually talk on the phone while using the internet for other activities without noticing any slowdown.
What happens if my internet goes out?
Because Ooma uses your internet connection, phone service will be unavailable if Starlink is temporarily down, unless you have a battery backup option. Many people keep a mobile phone as a backup for added peace of mind.
What is the cost to use Ooma with Starlink?
Ooma offers nationwide calling for free—you only pay applicable taxes and fees. Optional Premier features, including advanced call blocking, three-way calling, Instant Second Line, and more, are available for $9.99/month. Ooma service is separate from your monthly Starlink internet subscription.
Is Ooma better than a traditional landline in rural areas?
For many rural homes, yes. VoIP with Starlink often provides clearer calls, more features, and better reliability than aging landline infrastructure.
