Like everyone, I was skeptical that it would actually work well. I remember the old days of net2phone and early and inferior voip service.
That was then and this is now!! Very impressed with OOMA. Super simple setup. The "Premier" service can easily be opted out of. The basic service is sweet and gives things like caller id and call waiting. Features you'll spend extra on with any home phone provider. The quality is at least "as good" as a landline, if not better. All depends on the speed of your internet. Recommend you have at least 1MB download and 384MB upload highspeed (I use Comcast).
Don't be fooled into paying for VOIP service through COMCAST, VERIZON or VONAGE. If you already have a high speed line; why would you pay them extra to use it for phone service?! They're doing the same thing with their VOIP service, but charging you a ton for it? Makes no sense. Buy the OOMA; set it up and get the benefits of the bandwidth you're already paying for! BESTBUY has them on sale for $199, so wait and don't spend the full $249.
Ps. Don't bother getting a "previously activated" unit on Ebay. OOMA "WILL" charge you $60 to reactivate the unit. Do the math and get yourself a brand new unit for $199. There's no activation fees whatsoever and all you pay is the mandatory "federal regulatory" fees of about $12, at the beginning of your 2nd year of service. This thing will pay for itself in about 5 months, if your monthly home phone bill is $35-45. Think about it.
