Finally got system to work properly i.e. calls dropped where either I couldn't hear caller or caller couldn't hear me. Re-routed the device and have not had a problem since. Call quality is good, low level customer support is good, could never get through to higher level if needed. Also could not port my number, when they tried for some reason I could call out but no one could call in, so they gave me a new number and things work well.

Ooma works great, I'm glad I bought it. My setup and download only took 15 minutes. I must have a faster connection than the people that took an hour or more. Call quality has been very good, only once has the other caller said they had trouble hearing me, and I've never had trouble hearing them. I like that it hooks up directly to the Internet so I don't have to have a computer running. The only problem I had was when I first hooked it up, between my cable modem and router like they show, it killed Internet to my router. As soon as it was done updating I moved it to a port on my router and have not had a problem since. I have not even had to change any QoS settings to keep up the call quality. I wish it had name caller ID for free, but it does have plain caller ID. I don't need any of the other extra features so it isn't worth $10 a month to me to get the name. If you do need the extra features though, $10 is cheap for what you get. Getting my old number ported took a little longer than expected, but it was also around the holidays so totally acceptable.I did not have to contact customer service for anything, so can't say if that is good or bad. I would absolutely recommend ooma.
What's great about it: Excellent call quality, easy setup
What's not so great: I ported over my old number, but if someone wants a new number there are no local numbers available here

Ooma worked better than expected, easy to set up, I transfered my old phone number from At & T without a problem... The online functions are great... I especially like the ability to manualy block unwanted incomming phone calls from numbers I blocked in the call log...
What's great about it: You get great quality phone service with plenty of features without the monthly bill.

I have told many of my friends about the OOMA product. I am thrilled with it. Reception is crystal clear without a phone bill ! VM works better than a land line since it sends an email to me whenever I receive a VM at home. That has worked out very well for me. Somewhat diffiicult for me to understand how to hook it up at home, but I did it. Took about 3 weeks to get my land line number ported over. Well worth the pricey investment.
What's great about it: Crystal clear reception, works well, no major hiccups, love VM emails.
What's not so great: Installation and phone number transfer took too long, somewhat pricey to purchase

I was becoming frustrated by all of the charges that the phone company was charging for a phone which we seldom use. Understanding the charges was a pain and they kept changing things. MCI became Verizon and Verizon tried to charge us for the change. We decided to try Ooma and it has been fine. It will pay itself off in about a year. Packaging of the unit was first class and the instructions both printed and online were clear Porting of my phone number went just as they described it. You will need to fax them the agreement that you download to get porting started. We now have caller ID and voicemail for no additional fees as in free on an already free service. I hope they can afford to stay in business and stay free.
