Fantastic Phone and Big Money Saver!
on March 7, 2010

from Fairfax, VA
In a word, ooma is fantastic. I haven't had a home phone since the 1990's, but for a one time fee, I decided to get back in the game. The call quality is fantastic, but I do have a fast (FIOS) connection into the house. The setup is fairly straight forward, and the available features are impressive - especially if you sign up for ooma Premier (multiple lines, multi ring, call fwd'ing, etc). But make no mistake, the best part of ooma us absolutely the price; one time and I am done with phone bills as long as ooma is in business. For me, the break even is about 5 months. I am also a big Skype user and would have went that route, but Skype does not yet support number porting. With ooma, I was able to port a 15 year old number.
I've also paired this with a VTech DS6321-3, which allows me to use bluetooth with my home phone. This primarily does 2 things: 1) It allows me to use any of my bluetooth headsets with my landline number, a nice feature when taking work related conference calls from home, 2) enables my cell phones to pair with the home phone. This allows me to "dock" my iPhone to its charger, and when it rings, it rings every VTech phone in the house. I can see who is calling on any of the VTech handsets, and can easily answer the call. It clearly indicates it is an inbound cell call (and from which paired phone - max 2 can be paired), but do note that using the phone in this fashion (scenario #2) still uses cell phone minutes.
What's great about it: Slick looking, great value, excellent call quality, advanced features with ooma Premier
What's not so great: Set up isn't difficult, but if you fear gadgets I could see where you might be intimidated
I would recommend this to a friend!
