Say good-bye to AT&T
on August 1, 2012
Posted by: Bitgod

So I've been hanging onto my phone land line mainly because of the combination of "it just works" and not wanting to lose my phone number.
I just found out that with these VOIP systems, you CAN port your phone number over, so basically the trade-off is saving money with the loss of reliability. In my case though, I'm not a heavy phone user, and I was tired of paying AT&T $32 a month for little use.
Ooma's cost is mainly up front, though there's still a <$5 a month fee for fed, state, & local taxes, so that can't be helped. Regardless, this will pay for itself in less than a year. If you want want more features, you can purchase their premium level. I went ahead and did that for my first year, since the $40 cost of porting my number over will get waived, so that's half to a third of the cost right there. (As it turned out, I got the premium for $99 instead of the $120)
Anyway, make sure you have reliable internet service first. Then get one of these units and try it out for a few weeks, make some calls, make sure the sound quality works for you. When you decide to keep it, you can contact Ooma to start the port process.
Anyway, I'm VERY happy with my Ooma, I'm going to tell everyone I know about it. The sound quality and options are great.
What's great about it: Good quality, more features for less cost, can port phone #
What's not so great: Loss of basic copper reliability
I would recommend this to a friend!
