ooma Core VoIP Phone System with No Monthly Phone Service Bills This instant

we have stuck with the land line forever and never could see the costs justification for switching over to any Voip services, until now. I noticed most of the write-ups are by guys and although my hubbie did set up the machine, I shadowed him and peppered him with loads of questions; so you'll get a woman's perspective as well.

set up: easy instructions based off their web site. Pointer to note: there is some functionalities that you could go into where you can force your calls to take priority over down loading of data from the internet. This prevents your calls being dropped if someone in the house is busy on the internet. the booklet has a lot of pictures to help you, if you like the ikea-type of instructions. we did call the service desk and they were very helpful as there is reference to a blue light to tell you that you are now connected .. but we were not seeing it - it turned out that there is a little button to the side of the main ooma hub that controls the light-intensity.

Local calls are still on the land line until the porting process is completed, told that it will take up to 3 weeks.
There is no cost to port your current land line number. Note however, until your number is completely ported over, dont cancel your ID and call waiting features since these ooma features do not come into effect until the number is ported over. Will give more update on how the porting progresses.

clarity of long distance calls: very clear although when we were testing it a couple of times with family, our internet provider was having down stream problems, which meant they could not hear us as well as we could hear them. that is outside of ooma's control.

We tried setting up the account to make international calls - had some problems, but the service desk was so helpful and managed to resolve our glitch. Clarity of calls were good, but we were still experiencing some downstream problems with our internet provider that meant it took a couple of re-dialing to connect.

For people who live in the city dwellings of a condo-type- check with your doorman. We found out that our intercom no longer works. so call your doorman in advance if you are expecting guests/food deliveries!

we are now looking forward to the no more phone bills now. We decided not to enroll in the premium service as we will not use many of the features; and we just want to enjoy this period of one less monthly bills to pay.
