I have a very high interest and been waiting for this product availability. But after reading the some of previous reviews and found out that the free (free up to the first 12 months) basic plan does not include caller ID but and 800 support …, I just find it quite ridiculously outrageous. It outrages because that:
1. The device costs up to $250 up front
2. The so call free call sucks, only free up to the first 12 months then $10 per month after that and still with basic plan
3. Adding all these costs, why should I have to pay this much for their service that goes through my monthly DSL service that already costs me a bunch.
The thing is I have been waiting for with high hope for cutting telephone bill cost but now found out these really back fires for all that this device can offer. I rather pay $18/month including taxes for Cox, or Comcast, telephone service that is more reliable since their converter box has a built-in power back up device. Furthermore, I can call up for support anytime. Very very disappointed.

I purchased this item. When I tried to activate it I found there are no numbers available in my area code.
Apparently the state of Montana doesn’t include Kalispell, Missoula, or parts in between in ooma-land.
The customer service rep recommmended I get a different number and keep my landline so as to not be a long-distance number for anyone local who might wish to call me.
I am irritated for the waste of my time with this product. They should make it known up front that the service is not available in all areas.

be aware that if you order through their website and chose the package deal (the ooma Telo + handset) they will only ship to you the ooma Telo. Also their $50 refer-to-a-friend coupon is fake. Even with that coupon applied I paid $209 (shipping included). Wheres it is for $197 and free shipping from Amazon.

I’ve had the Ooma hub and scout for about 8+ months now and (here’s the best part), 4 months into it, I recovered every penny that I paid for it and I don’t pay a penny for phone service. Now, FCC has enforced some fees (it’s only like 10 odd bucks a year v/s the 10-15 bucks that popped up in taxes every month on the phone bill!) from what I understand, but it’s worth it. The Telo is the redesigned product they’ve just launched and I’ve had my hands on one the past month or so. It’s simply GREAT. You can hook up your own telephone or get their handset (launches in a month or so from what I know).

This product is good only if you want to make calls within US but in case you are making international calls Vonage would work cheaper because of their new plan which makes calls to 60 countries FREE (included in the monthly charges).
