Product Description
In a volatile economy, there's one utility you can save with the aid of VOIP technology - your phone service costs. Smart and stylish, the ooma Hub and ooma Scout partner with your high-speed Internet and your existing home phones to deliver free home phone service. Your one-time purchase eliminates monthly bills for U.S. calling and delivers extremely low rates for international calls. Your one-time purchase of an award-winning ooma Hub device frees your phone service. Call anyone, at any number, anywhere in the U.S. without charge. Think how much you pay the phone company each year. Now imagine what you could do with all the money you save.

Ooma is the only company in the history of the telecom industry that lets you own your dialtone. Your one-time ooma purchase eliminates monthly charges for unlimited US calling. Compared to other stand-alone VoIP providers, there are no monthly fees for US calling. Plus, the ooma system has been architected to deliver exceptional voice quality and reliability, giving you the crisp, acoustic performance of a landline, without the associated fees. A number of our customers have reported that ooma delivers "excellent voice quality," "better than landline."
Easy-to-read manuals are full of colorful diagrams and simple instructions to make set-up as painless as possible. It takes the average customer less than 20 minutes to activate and install the ooma system. Using the ooma system is even easier! ooma devices have been designed to provide an intuitive out-of-box experience. Ooma can move your number from your current phone provider for a one-time fee of $39.99. To use the ooma Hub device, you need TWO things: 1. A high-speed Internet connection (cable/DSL/fiber-optic); and 2. A home phone.

4 out of 5 stars I like it.   January 9, 2009
I ordered it two days ago and received it today. The setup is really easy, and I am very satisfied with the sound quality. It took me two phone calls to port my number. I waited for 20 minutes at the first time (6pm EST) before being told to leave my name and a phone number by the automate system. About 30 minutes later, I gave it a second try and got very professional help after waiting for about 16 minutes.

The scout has not been set up correctly. I plugged a cable from the phone jack on the wall to "wall" on the scout, and then connected the power adapter. The red light was on and off in the first row, then on and off in the second row, and then on forever in the third row even after 20 minutes. I am not sure if it is due to the porting process. In order to port my phone number, my current setting is to connect the "wall" on the hub to the internet/phone modem provided by Cablevision (I am using the triple play) and the "phone" on the hub to the wall jack. I will provide a follow up after the porting is completed.



5 out of 5 stars Great Product   January 8, 2009
I love this box. The voice quality is equal to a landline phone.

I had magic jack. Lets just say you get what you pay for when it comes to voice quality. No comparison. Magic jack had an echo whenever I would call someone. I never got rid of it. Magic jack also had to be running on my computer 24-7. This is a stand alone box.

I had Vonage for a couple of years before. Vonage has good voice quality but it cost me $35 a month where I live with taxes. At that price, this box pays for itself in 6 months.

I have some advice for anyone considering buying Ooma. When I first tried it out, it had some echo. I called tech support (waited about 10 min.) and they fixed it the next day. So if you get the box and it echos, give em a call. They'll fix it.

2 out of 5 stars Ooma is NOT free   January 7, 2009
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Don't be fooled by advertising gimmick. Ooma is not free. You have to pay $250 upfront for the equiment and then you have to pay additional amount each month for user fee, feature fee, voice mamil fee, E911 fee, activation fee, cancelllation fee (read the fine print) etc which amounts to about $15 per month.

IOn the otherhand Vonage gives you equipment free of charge and charge you $25 per month. So do your own math.

Don't get carried away in advertising hype
