How does Ooma Telo work?
Ooma in incredibly easy to set up – in fact, it took us less than 15 minutes to plug our high-speed Internet connection into our Ooma Telo and start making phone calls to our friends and family.  The only thing you need for Ooma to work in your home/business, is a high-speed Internet connection (cable, DSL or fiber-optic) and a regular home phone.

Most phone companies nickel and dime you for local toll calls, long-distance, voicemail, caller-ID and call-waiting, and for stuff you don’t need. Ooma gives you a home phone service with FREE U.S. calling, outstanding voice quality and the ease of a traditional landline. There are no special headsets, no tricky calling codes to enter, and no need to log onto a computer. Just pick up a phone and dial. It’s that easy.

Here are some common concerns/questions that my friends and family have asked:

• Can I call anywhere in the U.S. for free?
  Ooma allows you to make local and long-distance calls within the 50 states for free. A few exceptions apply: Ooma does not support 900 numbers and phone chat services. Directory assistance (411) calls will be charged to your prepaid calling account and cost $0.99 per call. Pay only applicable taxes and fees. Federal universal service charges, state and local taxes, fees & surcharges and regulatory and compliance fees are billed monthly and are subject to change.

• Can I keep my current phone number?
  In most cases, yes, Ooma can transfer (port) your existing phone number to Ooma. Normally there is a one-time processing fee of $39.99, but if you sign-up for an annual subscription to Ooma Premier ($119.99/yr), we’ll waive the porting fee. To confirm that your number can be transferred, click here. Please note that porting typically takes up to three weeks and you must keep your current phone service until the transfer is complete.

• Does Ooma support 911 calls?
  Yes. Ooma provides E911 service where supported.They collect your address when you register your Ooma device online, and send it to emergency response personnel when you dial 911. Since Ooma works over your Internet connection, you will need to call from a mobile phone if your Internet connection is down. If you’re concerned about relying on your Internet for phone service, we’ve built the Ooma system to work with a landline back-up. In this case, your 911 calls will always be routed over your landline. For this reason, it is very important to have an emergency cell phone, since you never know if your Internet will go out!
• How much does Ooma cost?
  The Ooma Telo has a list price of $199.99 and includes a 60-day free trial of Ooma Premier.
   
• Do I need to leave my computer on to use Ooma?
  No, Ooma is a standalone, low-power, always-on device that works independently of your computer. This saves you from the hassle of installing anything on your computer and from having to leave your computer turned on to make and receive calls. That alone could save you up to $20 per month in energy costs.
