OOMA VOIP

[Rodent]

I purchased an OOMA (http://www.ooma.com) hub last night



I spent 10-20 minutes to register a new number (could have transferred my current number for a small fee, but decided on a new number instead) and set-up the hardware thru my Clearwire internet receiver. Since it's possible to choose a number anywhere in the US, I could have easily chosen a primary number in Boston so that friends/family there could place a local call to me, and then have my secondary number local to here in Seattle for friends and family here

60 minutes of calls later, I'm well pleased with the sound quality even while simultaneously downloading significant data files or streaming videos from YouTube.

the hub runs roughly $200, and with the exception of a yearly $11.99 FCC tax there's nothing more to pay ever if you utilize their basic service. for an additional $11.99 monthly you can upgrade to their Premier service which includes the ability to have a second dedicated phone number

as an added benefit, it's even possible to listen to your voice mails via a secure log-in web browser

all the best,

R

interesting - either nobody knows what OOMA is, or nobody likes the idea of NO monthly phone bills

I've used this for several days now and continue to have exceptional experiences with all of my outgoing and incoming calls

all the best,

The only problem for me is that it's a bit big to attach to my cellphone, which is my only phone.
