Setup and number porting was very simple.

Telephone number porting was not painless either.

On Tuesday, Apr. 8 I submitted the online form to have my home phone number ported to my Ooma device.

I opted for Ooma's $9.99 a month ($120 a year) premiere service for the extra features and getting my old number ported for free

Including the Ooma (I got the older model; it's functionally the same as the new one, but less expensive), porting fee ($49 after taxes and fees) and the Ooma Bluetooth adapter for my cellphone, I will break even in about 5 months and then save $35/month after that - $420/year.

I had my number ported and they kept charging me taxes for 2 months

As soon as I finished the setup, I signed on for one year of Premier Service to get the free number port.

No issues, the port went through quickly and without issues.

I had my number ported

I was unsure about how the number porting would go (or not) but they guided the whole

The Ooma people were very helpful porting my number from my old Time Warner service which cost $29.99 per month

You can then use that as your new number, or use your old number (porting).

I have Basic service only, but if you want to sign up for Ooma Premier, Ooma offers free porting

Well, turns out that the Telo shorted out (mind you, it was connected to a UPS with surge protection) and a surge went through the Ethernet cables killing the Ethernet port on the cable modem (rendering it useless) and the WAN port on my WiFi router (ALSO rendering it useless)

I then bought the Premier service and requested number porting

It also takes 2-3 weeks for the number port to go thorough

If I had it to do over again I wouldn't worry about having my DSL service interrupted when having my number ported

High marks for customer support, number porting and call quality

Great call quality and very easy to use include the number porting process

So you have to wait up to 4 weeks before your exiting phone number is registered with Ooma and like I said, you must purchase the port your phone number charge.

My number porting took about 4-5 days.... and had a very positive experience unlike other folks

I had completed the porting form at about 9pm that night and the next day my number was ported by noon!

Up and running in no time and the porting of my old number was flawless and happened a lot earlier than estimated.

Ooma needs to redesign the Telo and their number porting process to create more reliability and user-friendliness.

I pay $3.71 a month in taxes, but also took the premium service at $120 a year, and got free porting of my old number, which is $30 without premium service

I bought this unit from Amazon because my original OOMA Telo had a bad USB port, so I couldn't install the OOMA Bluetooth adaptor I had purchased

includes 1 free port).

My setup for internet isn't very common, so I did have to have Ooma tech support open up a different port for me to use.

Easy install, easy porting my old phone number to Ooma, and excellent customer support

I requested the old Verizon FIOS phone number port to be the secondary number.

The porting was super easy from ATT.

Then after I cancelled and had my number ported away they still charged my account

When I first called customer service they said after my number got ported from vonage it was not tagged as my primary number that was causing issues dialing out certain numbers, so the customer rep fixed that issue or it seems to be fixed

the online user interface is great, the installation and number porting was super easy with their easy infographic manual, and its super cheap!

Set up was easy and much faster porting of phone number than promised just 3-4 days from Frontier.

You'll select a number (or port your existing one and get a temporary number) and Ooma will spend 10-15 minutes flashing around updating, after that your good to go

Then I signed up for Ooma's Premium service and requested to have my home phone number ported over to

I went from copper wire to ATT home phone (basically a stationary cell phone hookup) to OOMA, and I have not yet finished "porting" my phone number to the VOIP bridge, called the Telo

Today, Friday, 2 days later, the number porting

There is a 1 time charge to port your number, but since I wanted the premier service, the port was free.

so we signed up for the Premier service and purchased the year in advance to get the free number porting

On 4/9 I requested to get my own number ported to Ooma thru Ooma website.

All the really important ones are included or available through the reasonably priced premier plan, which also includes a free number porting or another substantial gift for purchase of a year in advance with your new Telo device

Easy set up, quick number porting after I tried it on my home system for a few days.

But, it seems that we never figured out exactly why my Hawaii number could not be ported over to Ooma.

I spent $350 on the equipment and related expenses (monthly Ooma fees, land-line fees associated with the failed porting process).

They claimed that since I didn't call them specifically to cancel the service, they just keep billing even though the number had been ported

(yes, it's cheaper now), $99.88 for the number port and year of premier service, and $3.75 per month for taxes and E911 fees.

A couple of days later I was advised that my number cannot be ported to Ooma's service because they have no agreement with my present carrier

Telephone number porting was quick.

.... plugged the cable that came with the Ooma Telo (from Ooma to modem/router), plugged in the phone cord from cordless phone into the Ooma Telo and plugged in the power (after going online to the Ooma Telo site and filling out the required stuff to activate the device).... it worked immediately, the sound quality seemed a little off at first but has ended up being acceptable/OK.... the only negative thing so far has been trying to get my number ported by the phone company and that's NOT Ooma

Today I had a message on my Ooma Telo letting me know that my old phone number would be ported in by late tomorrow

The port of the old phone number was a breeze and only took a week.

Well, today is the 5th day, and the number was indeed ported today.

Easy install, easy porting my old phone number to Ooma, and excellent customer support

The porting of my number went smooth and without issue.

The wrong number was ported as my main number.

Obviously my lack of complete satisfaction is more due to Verizon than to Ooma, but it would be helpful if Ooma could let potential customers know that porting could be a problem.

, however, I used the promotion at the time and purchased the Premier level for $99.99 for the year and the number porting is included.

I had so much trouble setting up a new landline with my existing phone number ported over,--I tried with 2 different local phone companies --who then wanted to charge me a lot for not-so-great service

All told; $118 to buy it, $40 + $40 for number porting, +$20/month additional for new land line contract and maybe $50 back from eBay sale

It only took ten days to get my existing number ported over to Ooma

The Ooma people were very helpful porting my number from my old Time Warner service which cost $29.99 per month

As soon as I finished the setup, I signed on for one year of Premier Service to get the free number port.

It was an automated message from Ooma saying they were checking the status of the number porting.

Got this and read the reviews about the delays in number porting.

After paying $40, my home number was ported in less than a week

My number was ported in less than a week, and works very well

If you are porting an existing phone number - most can be ported to Ooma.14

The number porting was easy and Ooma is awesome

Easy to setup, number porting from AT&T took less than a week

We ended up porting our phone number and that process took a few weeks to do, but nothing outlandish.

I initially connected Ooma incorrectly (just plugged it into an available port on my router) but it still worked pretty well

I said, I wanted to wait to get my number ported, and to get new service set up

I soon received an email saying that number porting failed

The porting of my old number was quite easy and ooma kept me informed as to when the number would be transferred.

I only gave it four stars because the number porting costs $40.

Within a couple hours, I received an email stating that the number port from Verizon was scheduled to take place in 5 days.

On 4/11 my number porting was complete.

The wrong number was ported as my main number.

Then after 5 days i received an email from OOMA saying that my number will be ported tomorrow and on the 6th day it was ported successfully

The sound quality is great too and we paid the extra $ to have our number ported which took half the time they said it might

porting may be frustrating because of the phone company but the Ooma Telo device appears to be a no-brainer if you have broadband service anyway.....

I will break even in about 3 months based on the cost of the device and porting ($110 + $39) and now just paying taxes (estimated at under $4/mo).

I still do not know what the monthly taxes will be and the number porting charge was at best excessive.

Went online this a.m. to apply for number porting (from Verizon)

I completed the number porting process, and where you select your current carrier, they didn't have BasicTalk as a choice, so I chose Other and entered BasicTalk.

I could not get my number ported despite several attempts at doing exactly what I was asked to do

No problem on the number porting

That was quite a shock since I know cell phones are usually ported with in 24hrs, but we decided no biggie since the old number was still connected with the other provider, and decided to wait it out until we got the email the port was successful.

I didn't realize there would be a lag but in case you're new to this and want to keep your number, note that porting your number will take 1-2 weeks which isn't that bad at all

The number porting request required uploading my old phone bills and filling out a cumbersome form

Only one telephone port available and even that is in a congested position making it hard to connect a Y adapter to connect two phone instruments to the same line

The number porting was easy and Ooma is awesome

Our old number should be ported shortly.

There is an additional charge for the Ooma premier service which comes with extra services (free calling to Canada, call block, free porting of number, etc.) which you may or may not need for an additional $9.99 + tax.
