Lowest Price ooma Core VoIP Phone System with No Monthly Phone Service Bills

Well after 1 month, I have got to say, "I wish I had done this sooner!!"

I have an Xlink gateway and have a cell phone that I have been using as my home phone for the last 6 months or so. I have a family plan with three phones, but with the home phone now as one of them, it has been eating the minutes away. I needed something different. I found out about OOMA and decided to give it a try. Well after 1 month, it has been one of the best decision I have ever made.
I still have my Xlink box, so I connected ooma to the landline connection on the Xlink box. My cell phone connects by bluetooth to the Xlink box. I have a cordless answering machine at home with 6 handsets. The Xlink box allows me to answer the cell phone at any of the 6 handsets, so in the basement media room where cell phone coverage is not very good, that really helps. Now with OOMA connected, it is by default the first dial tone you get when you pick up a phone. If I want, I still can call out on my cell phone, but I don't because it costs minutes!! If I get a call on the ooma system, all the cordless phones in the house ring and I can answer any of them. That also holds true if I get a call on the cell phone.
I didn't hook it up as suggested in the manualto get the best quality, but I certainly can't tell any difference from a standard line line. I already had a router in a home network so I attached it to the router instead of the suggested place of between your router and the cable modem. I did however, go into the router and turned on the QoS function and set the MAC address up for the ooma device so that it had a high priority on traffic. As of this date, I have never and neither has any one on the other end of a call ever noticed any echoing, dropping of words, etc. that are common to VOip systems. This is just a great system and coupled with the Xlink box really gives us the best of both worlds. With the Xlink box connected you will always have a dial tone. Example was a couple of weeks ago, my internet when down for a couple of hours. Don't know why, just saw the red light flashing on the ooma box, and tried to get online with a browser and could not, but when I picked up a phone, I had a dial tone. It was the cell phone dial tone, so I could still call out. The Xlink box automatically switched the default to the cell phone since it didn't sense that the ooma system was active.
The other thing I gained; now I can fax out again. I haven't tried incoming, but outgoing works fine. They tell you to hit *99 before you type the phone number and that seemed to work fine.
All in all, I have rated this product (OOMA) at 5 stars. I haven't had the need to call for support so can't rate that, but for the product and does it work!! 5 STARS.
