Buying ooma Core VoIP Phone System with No Monthly Phone Service Bills

Why do telco companies have to be so dishonest? That "they all do it" seems to be a horrible excuse.

Ooma's product description here at Amazon, and on their own website is CRIMINALLY deceptive - one can only hope that with the change the majority of Americans voted for in Washington will produce a change in the lack of oversight of American business.

As has been stated in a small number of the reviews already posted here -
A) OOMA DOES NOT HAVE phone numbers in all areas of the country. Their website and Amazon description have no mention of this - the text all implies that it doesn't matter where you are in the US or what phone number you have - you can get a local number from Ooma. But nothing could be further from the truth. FLAT OUT LIE. (try find ANY number in Hawaii - impossible.)

B) Unlimited is not unlimited. They tell you - without qualification - here at Amazon and on their website that you get "unlimited" calling. But you do NOT get unlimited calling - there is a limit. FLAT OUT LIE.

Some apologists (employees?) here post glowing reviews and diss those that expose the lies by saying "all the telecom companies" do it (lie). Please. The lies have got to stop and I for one can't wait until the lying cheating culture of the current American generation (Madoff / Wall Street) is brought to justice. Ooma's employees included. BIG FINES and people need to go to jail.

Jump over to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) website and anyone who understands English will understand that Ooma - and Amazon by hosting their ads - is acting unlawfully by engaging in deceptive advertising:

"What makes an advertisement deceptive?

According to the FTC's Deception Policy Statement, an ad is deceptive if it contains a statement - or omits information - that:

* Is likely to mislead consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances; and
* Is "material" - that is, important to a consumer's decision to buy or use the product."

Saying you can get a phone number that you can't is misleading, has misled customers and is very material to customer decision to purchase.

Anyone who thinks that their purchase of an Ooma product will deliver the rest of what they promise ("perpetual" "free" calling even with a limit) --- I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. When the business plan doesn't work and Ooma's Ponzi scheme (selling hardware brings in the monehy to operate the free calling - when the sales of hardware slows down, when they are forced to pay fines for their lies) breaks - a lot of people will be left holding worthless useless equipment that provides zero service......Get more detail about ooma Core VoIP Phone System with No Monthly Phone Service Bills.
