Like a charm. No tricks.
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: It does what it says and it's free service. Seems that, despite official comments to the opposite, you can, in fact, energize your entire house. looks like [at least] three standard phones work off 1 line. This is a very easy unit to set up the default way, and home wiring can be modified [if its worth it to you] to energize multiple phone jacks. I brag about my phone system all the time,...

Great service with some minor caveats
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: ooma is quality equipment. You can easily tell this by the nice box and packaging it comes in to the base and scout units. No cheap junk here. So yes, you pay a high cost up front but at least you're getting decent equipment.
Easy-to-read manual. Really--no translation needed. It offers easy to understand instructions along with diagrams so you can...

OOMA Great So Far ! PS3 WII Netflix No Lag At All
First off , I want to say I have looked all over for any reviews I could find on the Ooma system before we made the purchase. I found numerous reviews in blog forms that almost looked as if they were started by Oomas competition, and not real life users. Many included false statements that you could verify simply by checking product manuals which are freely downloadable from Ooma without purchase. Most reviews from actual users are very good, with some exceptions of some that may jump in before ...

Great for a former Vonage user!
I have been a Vonage customer for three years and suffered through all of their growing pains. At $25 a month though for unlimited service I thought I would check to see what other options were available and decided on giving Ooma a try.
The Ooma hardware is well designed, with thoughtful touches like a built in speaker for listening to voicemail and a brightness control so that you can turn down the brightness of the unit in a bedroom. The hardware comes wonderfully packaged like a...

Great Features and Value, Easy to Set Up, Flawless Domestic Calling, Spotty International Service
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) Background: I've been using numerous VoIP products for several years. These include Vonage, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger with Voice, VoIP Discount, and more. I feel very familiar with today's VoIP offerings and have a thorough understanding of Ooma's product. My current broadband setup is through a Comcast Cable modem. For the sake of comparison, I will use Skype and Yahoo! Messenger.
Setup: Ooma is extr...

Amazing device!!!
I was a Vonage user for two years, and loved it; but how could I not try something which after 8 months would buy itself and would provide me free phone service, so I switched from Vonage to Ooma. The packaging for the device is fantastic: the device, packaging, and the manual looks like something Apple would make. The installation was very easy. Before you install the device, you need to go to Ooma website to activate the hub and setup a new phone number or transfer your current number. Everyth...

Run, Don't Walk To Get Yourself One of These!!!
If ever there were a land line killer, this is it!. Ooma is one of the few products I've run across that I'm truly excited about, and find myself constantly evangelizing to my friends. The product is just off the charts in terms of delivering, and the installation is amazingly simple. Really, I believe anyone - including the technophobic - could not only get Ooma up and running, but actually enjoy the process! The packaging and documentation rivals Apple's - very slick, very well thought throu...

Uploading speed a must
I bought Ooma 2 months ago. My verizon internet is 768/120 kbps, you need at least 384 kbps of upload to have a good quality, so the voice quality is not good. Time after time quality is very good. It looks like I need a better Internet service.
Easy to install. No problems at all with the home phone. To keep your phone #, for homes that get internet from phone companies you need to call and disassociate the DSL from phone.
good luck

Great "free" phone service: 3 - 5 stars, depending on configuration
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) The Ooma Core offers the ability to use internet technology to talk over a real phone, at no charge within the entire US, to landlines and cell phones. You can move freely about the house with your ordinary cordless phone. All you need is a high-speed broadband connection and a phone.
I was terrified about making the plunge to switch from traditional phone to VOIP, so I spent much time research...
