I lost my caller ID about a year ago, and the hard-to-understand customer service reps tell me I will have to pay more to get it back.

You have to wait until the caller has left a message and hung up

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).

Free caller ID and less than $5 a month.

Premier has a database of telemarketers and unwanted callers, so I've been getting far fewer unwanted calls since I started using Ooma.

n’t get calls from and that ended my annoying callers cheaply

Nice is that you can block unwanted callers.

Oh, and did I mention that it's packed with features that allow me great flexibility to block unwanted callers, create phone books, and call Canada when my daughter was in university in Toronto.

We pay $14.51 per month for the extra luxury of having 2 phone numbers, and being able to easily block unwanted callers.

Cheap, but pay the $10 for premium then block undesirable callers

I do find it ridiculous that "enhanced caller ID" isn't a feature included in the base service, but it will still tell you the phone number and a name if it's in your contacts at least

My only quibble is that when your "port" your existing landline so you can keep your existing number, the caller ID on the receiving end shows the ooma assigned number.

Since this is my only phone at this time, a power backup on this unit as well a on the router would (hopefully) keep the phone operational in the event of a glitch or power outage

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

The quality of the calls is not as crisp as

Awesome as always this one went in out vacation home.

Calls are clear; as clear as on our landline or actually better most of the time

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

Sound quality is as good as or better than the Uverse VOIP that we had and the cost is much, much less

Stay away and run away as fast as you can to pick someone else ........

New box works as good as or better than the original

Add # after the phone number will make it work as it should, but so counter intuitive
