Ooma Telo VoIP Free Internet Home Phone Service and HD3 Handset. Affordable landline replacement. Unlimited nationwide calling. Call on the go with free mobile app. Can block Robocalls.

This Ooma Telo device exceeded my expectations. We live where cell phone service is in nonexistent. We also don't have a landline. Our iPhones used over Internet have lags and gaps in the conversation coverage. The Ooma somehow does not have the same gaps. The base station is easy to install. You just plug it into the back of your router to start with, and if that works, you can proceed to plug it into the back of the modem. We just left it in the router because that works well. The handset is an added, plus, because it gives you all of the buttons that you might need to use menu systems and various companies. We also installed the app on our iPhones and can make calls easily when we're connected to the Internet. I have yet to receive a call to see if the notifications work as advertised, but see no reason why they will not. This is a very big improvement to our house. I wished I had purchased this years ago. I recommend it.

Easy to install. Easy to program. Absolutely no problems

Paid almost $100 for this device, and then subscription is on top of this PLUS you have to add credits to call internationally (the whole reason we bought this phone). The phone never gave crisp audio, always had issues with it. Tried to resolve with Ooma and the only resolution was to cancel the subscription and eat the cost of the device. I should mention too when you first sign up, they add you to the premium membership and then after the trial they automatically start charging you a higher price without signing off on it. All subscription and cancellation is done via phone (no online support available for this), and phone calls take at least 10-20 minutes with all the prompting and customer service. I would not recommend this service to anyone looking for a home phone.

If you know and love ooma, this will not disappoint. If you were expecting BUILT IN WIRELESS, this is not that model. This needs to be wired to work. Otherwise, it works as expected. Good price. Tech support is as expected. They get to the solution eventually. Level 1 support is just about "is it plugged in", Level 2 is the analysis and testing / checking known solutions. Level 3 finally figures out the problem and solution. This can take hours and multiple calls with a complex setup even if you know how to check things. They want to repeat your tests. If you need a home phone (fewer do these days), this is a great solution, great sound quality and very reliable with backup settings to assure you get your calls.

So, I had to change my ISP because the service was awful. I was pretty happy with my POTS which also came from the same provider as my ISP. In the process they decided that POTS without internet would actually cost me MORE than POTS plus internet. So, I said goodby to a perfectly good POTS. My choices were then Ooma or my new ISP. Cost - My new ISP wanted to charge me pretty much the same for phone plus internet as my old one. I think the service would have been fine. However, to purchase a cable modem with phone capability would have been major $$$. Renting a cable modem with phone wasn't too bad but the payback for buying a modem and this Ooma is less than a year. Ooma charges only taxes for their basic service. In my case that is under ten dollars a month. If everything keeps working for 2-3 years I'm good. By then all the hardware will be obsolete anyway. Function - It works a little bit different than a traditional phone. You have to wait a second before it works using a handset. If you use the handset that comes from Ooma it doesn't seem to work for touch tone menus when you call places with automated systems. (I just use a standard handset when that is what I am doing. ) It also doesn't work with other phones as extensions. I have even used it to send FAXs. Now, here is the great part ... you can set up your cell phone so that it rings the same time as your Ooma. So, when I am on the road I still get calls just like I am home. I haven't tried it but I can place them too. However, you have to pay a little more each month for this service. Installation - Basically plug it into your modem and that's it. The handset requires you to push a button to link it to the base unit. You do have to create an account blah blah blah. Super easy. The absolute hardest part is unhooking your POTS from the line outside your house. If you do this and plug your Ooma into any outlet everything works just like it did before. You WILL need a UPS to keep things running in power outages. Ooma sell a battery but you will need to keep your modem going too. I just bought a big UPS and plugged both into it. I think it will last a few hours but I had a real hard time finding information about how long. What's Missing - SMS messaging. I know it isn't necessary but that would really make my day. Any place to get information on power requirements to use in selecting the right UPS.

Wanted a home phone. Monthly price is good. Have to add contacts on the website and then they are loaded on to the phone when synced with the base. Easy to set up. Get to choose a number from a list of available phone numbers. Works as expected. Sound quality is not as good as a cell phone but it is what it is and does what it needs to.

It's a good thing I ordered a NU10 smart phone when I ordered this Ooma Telo and handset. I didn't have a sim card in my smart phone, but I was still able to connect to the internet and register the Ooma Telo with my wireless internet network. The first thing the direction says to do is to activate the Ooma Telo before plugging in the power and this is where I got stressed out. I never owned a smart phone before and didn't know how to scan the QR code on the back of the Ooma Telo. I tried to enter the activation code manually with the other option, but it kept saying something is wrong. You will need a smart phone to scan the QR code to activate the Ooma Telo. I eventually figured out how to scan the code with the camera lens. It's like taking a picture without clicking anything, it just activates when the camera lens aligns with the QR scanning code. In addition, I had to order a cheap sim data card for my smart phone. We get free phone calls, but it won't work without an internet connection.

Works great for us. My kids can talk to their cousins and friends without us having to worry about them getting on the internet and seeing/doing things they don't need to be seeing/doing. Also great as the kids can still contact us if we are out somewhere on the property or running to the store and there is an issue at home.

Para poder activar este teléfono se requiere una dirección y un teléfono de contacto de los EEUU. No pude activarlo por esa razón.
