Reviews around system (4.44 of 5)

  • The Ooma allows me to customize my system to reject SPAM callers based on a dynamic database of known spammers and to customize how the rejection occurs: a message, never answering, or announcing that the number is disconnected.
  • It is still a good system, but certainly inferior to the original design.
  • I previously had Comcast voip phone and this system is just as good except
  • The device may worked perfectly well with other Internet providers who haven't adopted AT&T's inefficient system.
  • This is a great voip phone system with allot of extras.

Reviews around feature (4.36 of 5)

  • In a nutshell, great service and features in an inexpensive package.
  • We opted for the premium service which adds another $10 but provides great call blocking features and a second phone number.
  • The call quality is great and the features are excellent
  • Unable to call the Ooma trouble desk, I used the online chat feature.
  • It has features that I really like that I did not have with my regular service.

Reviews around setup (4.34 of 5)

  • The setup was easy and I got a number quickly, but the service wasn't reliable
  • The setup was a little difficult but well worth the time and effort.
  • Setup was easy and call quality is as good as any other service, no problems

Reviews around advertise (4.14 of 5)

  • I dumped Verizon/Frontier as I got tired of paying $65 a month for crappy service, dsl internet that was sporadic at best, and nonstop
  • I ultimately returned this as I could not get it to work with my alarm system, but outside of that the device functioned as advertised and was never recommended for alarm use.
  • Works as advertised but just a tad deceptive on how they bill.
  • I was also frustrated with their deceptive marketing, advertising "keep your number" all over their website, when that is not necessarily true (and they were not able to port my number.)I decided to buy the Ooma even though it was much more expensive, but I'm happy with my purchase
  • Ooma works as advertised and it was the perfect solution since I don't use my home phone much but didn't want to get rid of it

Reviews around quality (4.03 of 5)

  • Easy to set up, easy to use and very good sound quality.
  • The sound quality is as good if not better than my land line.
  • The sound quality is excellent and the service is very reliable.
  • Will you receive is noticeably poor quality, Low-tech and fragile.
  • To be fair, the sound quality and price is not too bad.

Reviews around price (4.02 of 5)

  • This is a good product that supplies a premium home telephone service at a good price.
  • I confess to buying this at Best Buy, only because they price matched Amazon, and I wanted it "now".
  • Ooma Telo provides great home phone service for a great price
  • This is the cutest home phone service I have ever had and the price is spectacular!
  • The price went up 20% this month from $4 to $5 due to fees, but still cheaper than the $40 monthly Verizon bill

  • Other than that, it is a fine device and I own and use two.
  • Also, the replacement and transition of the failed Ooma device was expedient and painless.
  • The device set up was fairly straightforward, so no issue there
  • Overall I'd recommend the Telo device and the Ooma Home service.
  • The device works perfect and the price is really reasonable.

  • So, first this WORKS!. Is it the best phone service ever,
  • So I bought this Ooma Home Service thinking it was free phone calling from here on out

Reviews around ooma numb (3.12 of 5)

  • Calls are clear; as clear as on our landline or actually better most of the time
  • So the morons are calling my Ooma number that doesnt work
  • I dumped Verizon/Frontier as I got tired of paying $65 a month for crappy service, dsl internet that was sporadic at best, and nonstop
  • But once I've vetted individuals or if the contacts are business related, those folks will get my Ooma number instead
  • And if a voicemail is left on the Ooma number, it is forwarded as a recording to email (and then forwarded to my wife's email), so we both will receive it anywhere

Reviews around caller (2.74 of 5)

  • Google Voice has its place in your toobelt, it's great for filtering out unwanted callers for example (let's say you are handing out your number to a colleague but want to keep your personal number private).
  • n’t get calls from and that ended my annoying callers cheaply
  • Google Voice has its place in your toobelt, it's great for filtering out unwanted callers for example (let's say you are handing out your number to a colleague but want to keep your personal number private).
  • Add # after the phone number will make it work as it should, but so counter intuitive
  • We pay $14.51 per month for the extra luxury of having 2 phone numbers, and being able to easily block unwanted callers.

Reviews around landline numb (2.63 of 5)

  • When I paid extra to port over my current landline number, OOMA told my phone company to cancel my account.
  • Add # after the phone number will make it work as it should, but so counter intuitive
  • I wanted to keep my landline number so relatives can find me if they need to.
  • I don't get very good cell service at home so a phone service that is reliable was a requirement, as I sometimes work from home
  • well i really like the 5$ phone bill ease of use ? took 7 days to port the number at a cost of 47$ all these added costs are not to my liking

Reviews around time (2.37 of 5)

  • Sound as good as our T-Mo @Home service and it is only about $6 in telecom fees.
  • well i really like the 5$ phone bill ease of use ? took 7 days to port the number at a cost of 47$ all these added costs are not to my liking
  • I would never go back to crappy quality, overpriced time warner phone service again
  • People had a hard time hearing me no matter what, and I heard random noises coming from the other line as well

Reviews around experience (2.23 of 5)

  • Shockingly even worse experience than with any of the cellular companies!
  • There are other family and friends of ours who have used Ooma for 10 years and have had a great experience.
  • And when I called them myself to troubleshoot this problem, I had the worst customer service experience I've had in 15 years
  • However, when I called to cancel my service I was given the worst technical support experience I've had with any vendor of any product
  • Having had close to 2 years experience with Ooma, I'm now quite comfortable in conveying my prolonged "happy camper" experience with it

Reviews around wire (2.12 of 5)

  • The only difference I can tell between Ooma Telo and a hard wired land line is the bill at the end of the month.
  • At one point (in an apartment for 1 year), I was completely hard wired and never had any issues with packet loss.
  • Then, connect the Telo to any jack in the house, and if your inside wiring is good, all the phones in your house will act -just- as they did before--with maybe better quality sound.
  • We have it hard wired to our router and it serves a Panasonic wireless set of five handsets throughout the house.
  • Be careful not to stress the wires at the ethernet jack by puling on the ethernet cable.

Reviews around line numb (1.80 of 5)

  • Voice quality is excellent; other end doesn't even suspect I
  • I use a land line number for everything I buy so its the number many telemarketers get their hands on instead of my cell
  • I got Ooma premier service with a Linx box for a separate line/number in my home office.
  • well i really like the 5$ phone bill ease of use ? took 7 days to port the number at a cost of 47$ all these added costs are not to my liking
  • Also keeping my old land line number is a plus so I can separate who calls my cell number so I don't get annoyed by call vendors.

Reviews around power (1.57 of 5)

  • Connected correctly to my wireless modem via Ethernet, line from Ooma device to phone secure as well as power to Ooma.
  • Do recommend a battery/UPS backup in case you lose power.
  • Our home network consists of a wired router (no wireless), a separate 24 port managed switch with PoE, and 3separate wireless access points, several intelligent power distribution units (basically intelligent power strips)
  • Adding too many of the vintage "real bell" ringing phones dwindles the power available to properly function..having 8,9, or so would cause all the phones to not ring.
  • The only problem with this type of communication is if the power goes out and your internet does not work, this will not work.

Reviews around port (1.54 of 5)

  • $119.00 in advance for 1 year service and free porting..then about $12.00 per month there after
  • But somehow, my home number was ported in only three days!
  • We wanted to keep our number so we took advantage of the free porting (a $40 value) and paid for the premier plan ($9.99/month) one full year in advance ($119.88).
  • I had my number ported over, and that was without incident.
  • I went ahead and ordered the Premium service to get the caller ID and free number port, but that is still cheaper per month than what we were paying.

Reviews around temp numb (1.44 of 5)

  • Initially, you register for a new temporary number and once the transfer is completed, you can then remove the temp number
  • Then they had to call customer service to remove the temporary number from their account, otherwise the temp number shows up on caller ID when you make a call
  • This is simply not true, as the temp number was not released and the ported number was not made primary
  • Even if you transfer the existing phone number, people you are calling will have your temp number showing up on their caller ids
  • Ooma kept me informed by email and phone message (to the box and temp number)

  • You can port your home number over if you wish, or choose a new number.
