Ooma Telo Free Home Phone Service. Works with Amazon Echo and Smart Devices (Renewed) White

Now that local phone providers are no longer required to maintain "POTS" lines ("Plain-Old-Telephone-Service"), VoIP (Voice-over-Internet-Protocol) is what everyone who needs a landline will soon be reduced to using. If a dial tone service is needed 24/7/365 in your application (say like if you have a home elevator), position this device near your router/modem, connect via the short supplied ethernet cable to its socket on this device and on your router. Your traditional RJ11 plug (off which your phone is attached) will go in its socket on the Ooma device. Run all these devices off of a continuous power supply device (IOW a battery-power-backup device) and you should have phone service that's as reliable as POTS ever was. Plus, this approach is a lot less expensive, less than $10 monthly for one line... and you can get a new phone number assigned or port your old number (fee: about $40). Also you get free long distance to USA numbers.

fast service, as advertised

I was hesitant to buy this, but I am glad I did. I purchased a refurbished version of the Ooma and for the minimal tax/fee per month (like $6 total), it is a very easy, no-fuss home phone. I even got to pick my phone number. I am very happy about this so far.

Good so far. Woorks well even if it is renewed.

We have Google mesh WiFi extenders and you can plug the ooma into one of those so you don't have to be tied down to where your router is. You can have a wifi extender near where you want to have your phone so no need to run phone lines back to your router location.

Great price

Try cancelling their service. It took me almost a half hour getting the runaround. Most of the features are only available in their "premium plan" for $20.00. If the power goes out, so does this unless you hook it up to an uninterruptible power supply. That's extra, too.

This is an excellent product. Has worked perfectly since installation.
