We just need à wired phone and keep our phone number
The ooma telo works quite well with our desk phone. Clear sound every call is recorded on "my ooma". I selected the sms notification on my cell phone for the recorded messages. Our phone number was ported in less than two weeks. We do not need all the features we just need a phone service for longer lasting conversations. And oomas phone service cost almost ten times less then our previous landline service. It makes no more sense to pay for internet and a land line phone service. I am just a little unhappy that i couldn't get the ooma service in my preferred language.
Setting up my system was easy and although I was told porting my existing phone number over would take 3 weeks, it was done in one week. I also bought the wireless handset which has nice features, especially the clarity of notifications of voice messages. I had a problem setting it up but tech support helped me quickly and efficiently.
Love Ooma - but it often has an echo

We do like our Ooma - but call quality is not consistent. Would love to get rid of the echo.
I would recommend ooma to everyone
I was trully surprised at how well it works!

At first, I was skeptical about an almost-free phone service, but once it was set up and working, it was as simple as an old landline to use. The sound is clearer and easier to hear than my cell phone and there are no dropped calls. To my surprise, I was able to plug in my old Princess landline phone and it works just fine. The VOIP device also acts as an easy-to-use voicemail recorder and your outgoing and incoming calls also get recorded on your "My Ooma," website for your records if you need it. Setup is easy but you need to follow the instructions carefully and have everything right at hand by your computer. I am very glad that I discovered VOIP calling and would recommend Ooma Telo to anyone needing a simple, inexpensive, but very modern phone service.
Still waiting for my number to be Ported over

Set up was easy although the directions were a bit vague. It’s been almost 30 days and phone number not ported over yet. So my provider was able to charge me for another month of service. Ooma said they sent me an email about the porting, but no record of that email on my end. Maybe had they actually sent that email, I wouldn’t have been charged the month service from the other provider and my number would have been ported and would be using the Ooma service. So don’t know how good it works or not
The helpline assisted me in the set-up which was successful. I like Ooma. The only disappointment was that you need a smartphone to use the water sensors in real-time. There is no security app that runs on a PC, only on a smartphone. Get an app that can run on the PC!

You can't find any VOIP based Telephone with excellent features at such a cheap price than Ooma.Ooma is at the top amongst all the competitors in the market.Only one thing they have to improve is that they should make available 2nd phone number to be attached to its primary number and should make number portability service free of charge. I will definitely recommend Ooma to my friends.
Have only hooked up phone service so far.

I now have my 5 handsets all around the house which I totally missed after ditching my landline. I Have much better service than my cell phone. I can actually answer a call and they can hear me. I can call anyone in the US with no extra charges. I have my cell connected to my phone so both ring when I get a call. The only problem I am having is to have my cell phone calls forwarded to my Ooma phone. They have told me how to but I get "call can not be completed as dialed" or fast busy signal. If I could get this done it would be perfect. I am only on trial service so far but I am sure when I get a bill, It will be so much lower than Frontier landline I will be HAPPY.
I am very much satisfied. No complaints. Substantial saving switching to Ooma. I will recommend Ooma's service to my friends.
