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

I've always been interested in VOIP. The moment high enough speeds were available to carry voice, I was looking for the company who would leverage mass ownership of high-speed internet to mass migration from the phone company. I've been a Skyper from its inception.

No need to go into Skype's drawbacks; they are well-known. Skype has been good for some limited functionality, but I always had to maintain a second, dedicated phone line. Some years ago I went with Primus (Lingo) and kept them for years. Lingo's pricing and features model closely resemble that of Vonage.

I've only just today canceled my Lingo account because Ooma takes care of all my land line needs, and my cell takes care of everything else, including emergency power outage communication. Ooma's free side doesn't have all the features of a Lingo or Vonage account, but it has essential ones like call waiting and caller ID. It also has better voice quality over the same Comcast cable system. I simply swapped out the Lingo router for the Ooma, forwarded all Lingo calls to my temporary number, and waited for my main number to port.

Once it did, I cancelled Lingo altogether (sorry Lingo, you've been a good friend) and I'm now a dedicated Ooma user. My call quality is better on incoming and outgoing voice. My internet connection is far faster than Ooma's minimum requirement. I understand you can use DSL for Ooma, but I've never tried DSL. Cable internet seems to work well for me.

I don't use the scout. I have a multi-handset phone with handsets all around the house. That means of course that I don't get to use the "magic second line" feature of the premium Ooma service--but if I wanted to pay for phone service I would have just stuck with Lingo.

From Skype through the paid VOIP services to Ooma, the VOIP tech arc is moving. I wouldn't be surprised if Ooma began to offer a cordless phone in the near future, with "scout" features built in to its base station, so that multiple handsets can be added without additional "scout" modules. You'd have full base and scout features from a single box that is also the phone base station. Now wouldn't that be cool?

Ooma, there's you next hot product. Partner with Panasonic and produce that puppy. I'll buy it.Get more detail about ooma Core VoIP Phone System with No Monthly Phone Service Bills.
