ooma Review: P2P VoIP with a risky twist

i was reading up on the ooma device. i think i understand now how it works. btwn majic jack and ooma...the pc doesn't have to be on all the time. couple of qs... can we use ooma to provide connection in all the phone jacks around the house...or only two phones...1 wth the base set and the 2nd wth the hub? and what can i expect expense wise..othedr than the initial cost of $229? or is there anything better out there to get away from $50/mo land line?

Have been using Ooma for a month now. To answer some of your questions
a) You can always by one of those multi handset cordless systems. In that case you do not even need the scout.
b) They charge you $40 for porting your no. unless you want to sign up for their $99 annual premium service which includes a lot of interesting but not necessary stuff. In that case number porting is free.



FYI - call quality is the same as a regular landline in my opinion.

I'm told that Ooma will eventually exceed POTS line quality when their new cordless phone hardware ships in September. It's DECT 6.0/CATiq based so has G.722 wideband capability built-in.

When calling other Ooma users the call quality will be startlingly good. Every bit as good as my Gigaset S675IP cordless phones.
