    • After days of this, Ooma has been unable to get my number back
    • I have a 25/50 FiOS internet connect so there wouldn't be any bandwidth issues, but I understand that Ooma's compression technology works well with standard 5/25 broadband connection speeds

    • If you want to port your old phone number to Ooma, all I can say is

    • Ooma kept telling me to try different things to influence the porting process, but nothing ever worked after hours of my time invested in calling emailing to and from both companies
    • I transferred our landline phone number to Ooma so our contacts are unaffected
    • I have not contacted Ooma regarding these issues yet so perhaps there is a resolution.
    • Ooma has been flawless and ultra-easy.

    • Coming from the original Magicjack, the Ooma was more expensive, but had better call quality and reliability.
    • We connected Ooma to the base unit of our cordless phones and everything works great.
    • I would not recommend Ooma to anyone
    • I met or exceeded all the minimum requirements to support Ooma.
    • say!I recommend the Ooma highly and will be buying one for a gift this year to my mother.
    • ooma has worked three times for me, so why mess with success2) ooma has a whole bunch of add-ons you can get (answer phone from cell phone, extra phone jack using elect outlet, etc.)3) $68 vs $28 doesn't amount to a cup of Starbucks each month, so why worry.
    • I am also dissatisfied by the fact that Ooma could not give me a local phone number.
    • and Ooma said they will refund the cost of the device
    • And I've lost a phone number that I have had since 1985.I will update this review if and when Ooma resolves this problem to my satisfaction.
    • Overall, I'm much happier now, and as of now would definitely recommend the Ooma
    • I re-booted the Ooma and so far so good.
    • Ooma is, at this moment, working on a beta of their new web interface

    • So, like many I'm sure, I found the Ooma Telo a little too good to be true, but it really is that good
    • These changes and modifications did not fix the problems and Ooma even told me my internet was "too fast
    • of course OOMA can't work .This happens rarely
    • It works as good as an AT&T line, and at a fraction of the cost
    • Service is every bit as good as AT&T.What's not to like?
    • Just follow the directions and it works just as easily as it is supposed to.
    • Minutes later however the set up had completed and the sound has been just as good as with my ATT service ever since
    • Worked perfectly, we called several times a week and the connection was just as clear as if we were calling across the street.
    • The calls are as clear in sound as with my traditional service.
    • Your phone will still work as it did before.
    • I don't need cancelling a service to be as painful as
    • Note I have talked on Ooma when streaming such services as Pandora or Amazon Prime Videos ... as well as when playing an Internet-connected MMORPG
