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.

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.

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.
