I checked other retailers and it lists for $209 $149, which is a bit pricey. I didn't test the Ooma Telo DECT 6.0 PureVoice HD handset and it is currently out of stock on Ooma's website. Using the DECT handset is the only way of leveraging the HD wideband audio feature. The base unit also acts as a DECT base station but you'll have to purchase the Telo DECT handsets separately. Turning off the cool looking blue buttons is great if placing this unit in a bedroom and you like complete darkness. From the base unit you can press a button to play messages over the Telo speakerphone, skip, rewind, delete, or change the brightness (low, medium, high, off) of the blue buttons. The Telo hardware includes a dual-core processor, 1GB of flash memory, and wideband HD audio engine. One of the sexy features is the base Telo unit is like the old traditional answering machines - you can screen / listen to callers as they are leaving a message and then answer or ignore the call. Many of these features you won't find in their competitors. Cost is only one factor in a purchasing decision - features is another, and Ooma has features a plenty. This is more than netTALK or magicJack, but less than Vonage. The $4.26/month x 12 months works out to $51.12/year. State and local taxes, fees and surcharges (what's this?) They have an online calculator that tells you what those local fees/taxes will be.įederal Universal Service Charge (what's this?) ![]() ![]() The first big difference of note is that unlike the other three aforementioned phone providers, rather than charge a monthly flat rate for service and per-minute costs for calls, Ooma only charges for the initial hardware - $199 Ooma Telo, +$50.99 for Wireless adapter, +$29.99 for Bluetooth adapter and then they only charge you the taxes and local fees for calls in the United States. Ooma is a low-cost phone service provider similar to magicJack, netTALK, and Vonage in many ways, but with some key differentiating features. However, 5 years later after dropping the PSTN sharing and moving to a VoIP-centric business model Ooma has redeemed themselves with some really cool features. I was right that this PSTN sharing feature and business model wouldn't work, so certainly that did go "Booma". Windows updates are infamous for breaking things, and in the latest update, some users have also reported brightness issues in the latest Windows 10 20H2 update (Build: 19044).Back in 2007 I wrote an article "Ooma goes Booma" because Ooma's claim-to-fame feature was that it worked by 'sharing' your PSTN analog phone line with other Ooma users.
