And, really, a few words is all I have. The short review is it works like it says it will. You get VOIP quality calls for free after buying the device. We have had no problems with call quality or dropped calls and the voicemail works fine. It took a couple of weeks to port our number over but that was it. Considering we were paying about $30 a month after fees and taxes previously, it paid for itself sometime in July, and now we are living in bonus time. Not having that monthly payment really feels good.
Here are some technical details.
- I have found it works best outside of our wireless router. So, our setup looks like cable modem->Ooma->Wireless Router. Originally I had the Ooma and the wireless router switched, but they were not playing nicely together (probably the wireless router's fault).
- Ooma comes with a 90 day subscription to Ooma Premier which adds a second line and gives you some other options. I let it expire and have not missed it.
- Ooma will email notifications that you have a voicemail, and you can also listen to them online.
- But, that's about all you can do online. MyOoma has some other management features and call logs and stats and stuff but I have not found any of it particularly useful
