The Bad

Limited Information on Customer Support

Limited Information on Customer Support

Ooma’s website provides very limited information on its customer support options. If your business has limited or off-site IT staff, we recommend having detailed discussions with Ooma’s sales representatives about what customer support the company provides and if it comes with any extra charge.

I have had Ooma since JAN 2017. Purchased Ooma Telo for about $100. With this, basic calls are free, but you pay monthly taxes. Although not needed by everyone, I added Premier service for about $126 annually. This adds tons of premium calling features. As an example, using their web portal, I used their highly configurable call blocking features to block all unwanted calls from telemarketers, spammers, etc. These annoying and dangerous calls have become a thing of the past. 'Whitelisted' everyone in my Contact List allows all their calls to come through. You can block or send all other calls to voicemail. Needs a HS internet connection and connects to a standard house phone or base set with cordless handsets. Moved recently and took my Ooma with me, keeping my phone #. Affordable, and easy to set up. 100% satisfied.

Ooma has been our primary phone service provider for more than one year. Ooma has never been unavailable and provides good quality communications. The price is reasonable and our only worry is the 5000 hour monthly limit, but we have not had a problem with that so far. Hope to continue with Ooma in the fiture if the service continues to be very good . The Ooma internet connection devive is very easy to use and setup.

Comparison with another service. I used to have another VOIP provider that was comperable in price to Ooma. there was no on call service but you had to check their blog to see if your problem had already existed and how to fix it and if the problem wasn't listed you could post a new issue. a member techy would then contact you. The provider was then bought out be a big player and immediate phone support was available, but the service quality went down as well as the phone quality itself. Ooma so far is crisper sounding, great phone support and offers super pricing.

I've had Ooma for nearly two years. I like them. I wish that I could send and receive text using my VOIP number with them but I still like them. The app is very reliable and no complaints. I pay $17 per month and I had a good selection of phone numbers to choose from.

We have a small office, with only 2 users (extension). There is a few things I really don't like about OOMA business. 1. Doesn't allow you bring your own VOIP phone. We have some nice Cisco phone that we can't use. RingCentral allow you to bring your own VOIP. 2. To use a phone in a conf room, it count as another user (extension), you have to pay full price. 3. Its mobile app is subpar. needs lots of work

We've had Ooma for 9 years now and have been very happy with the low price still giving us an option for a home phone, so our children are able to call us when we are away from home. I wish it would still work when the power is out or the internet is down, but I guess for that low of a price you can't have everything.

We have used Ooma for many years now. We have been very happy with it! It is nice to be able to keep a landline for our younger kids who don't have mobile phones yet. It is also nice to have a "home" number I can give out when I don't want to give my cell number out. I also love that we can check our voicemail message online.

ooma is incompetent and deceitful. signed up with ooma two weeks ago. the number was ported within two days and on monday, april 18, i tried to set up. in doing so, i found i cannot use my 800 number to text from. they had another number to use. i have a 504 but they gave me an 865. so a client texts and i text back from another number? that's not unprofessional or sketchy. jeez. so i left. after being begged to stay at a discounted rate, i convinced them i did not want to pay for anything which didn't work. after being promised a full refund of the $55 i paid to sign up, i immediately went to another company. i have not been refunded one penny. instead, ooma CHARGED ME for a second month. they did this within a WEEK of signing up! first, why are they charging me a week later? i had a month before i should've been charged. second, where is my refund? multiple phone calls over two days and many hours on the phone later, i managed to get the second charge refunded. STILL NO REFUND OF INITIAL CHARGE. that's $55. don't know about you, but that's a serious amount of money to pay a corporation which didn't provide what they promised/what you needed and has instead cost six wasted hours of their telephone bureaucracy in dealing with their incompetence and thievery.

If you need a home phone (which many don't) Ooma is the best. VOIP call quality is great. Hardware and monthly charge are quite reasonable. I personally find no use for the premium upgrades.

I really like Ooma because it makes it affordable to keep a landline and not just switch to only using our cell phones. I feel like there's a delay in getting our messages sent to our email account but other than that, this has been a great service.

They keep on raising their prices every quarter. Outside of that one issue they are a perfect company. Service dependability depends on your own Internet provider.

Horrible auto-recovery. If you have a power outage, the device will not auto-recover. No amount of rebooting will fix the modem. Chat support is not the support you want, it will take you 20 minutes until they tell you that you need to call for support. Just use the call in support number. This will take you to a person who will write down your information to have someone else call you back at their convenience to assist you in bringing up their device.

These guys are clowns, their support center which is all one can contact is in the Philippines. I have been trying to use their security system for months now, every time I add a sensor I have to sign up for a 60 day trial after which they try and charge me. So I intentionally didn't give them my credit card info.. Then, being a fool I gave them my card to buy a sensor and now it's locked into their system and can't be removed. So despite not giving them permission to use it, they can't fix it. I guess my only solution then it to start legal proceedings.

I would give it 5 stars if it were compared to conventional phone companies. I might give google voice an edge because it has a totally free option. I still have to pay monthly taxes with Ooma.

Pros: -Integrated app that allows you to retrieve voicemail on your phone remotely. -Set up in pretty simple. Cons: -You still have to pay taxes ($6-7/month). -If you have problems, tech support is not helpful. You are on your own. -All of the calling features cost extra.

Ok technology. I was not happy with the customer service. I cancelled and they didn't do it. I ended up paying for three more months before I cancelled again.
