Welcome to Bargain Babe! I’m Mara, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am an obsessive bargain hunter and penny pincher, and I am determined to live a full life without EVER paying full price.
I know fewer people are using landlines, now, but this is handy for when you need a common phone number for the whole family, and you don’t want to give out a cell phone number. We bought one six years ago and really like it. It reduced our monthly phone bill from $28 (with Vonage) to less than $17, $10 of which is the optional Premier service (without the Premier service, my monthly bill would be less than $7). The Premier service includes number blacklisting and e-mailing of voicemail messages as MP3 files. You can also play voicemails from the device, but I find it nice to get my voicemails over email.
One other advantage is that if you happen to move, you can take the device with you and not have to change your phone number. For example, when we moved from El Segundo to Santa Monica, we didn’t have to disconnect our old phone service and start a new one, we just brought our Ooma to our new home. We just had to change the address on file at ooma.com so First Responders would know where to go in case we called 911 through the device.
I’ve also heard of people taking the device with them on vacation so they could get their home calls while they’re traveling (sounds pretty extreme, if you ask me). All you need is an internet connection. Oh, and you’ll also need to get a landline phone that you can plug into the device, unless you don’t intend to actually make or receive calls (we don’t have a phone connected to the device, we just let people leave voicemails and call them back, if we need to, on our cell phones).
Nice to see that this model has wireless capability. Our model doesn’t have this feature, so we have to plug it in directly to our router. You should probably make sure your wireless router is fast enough (most modern routers are), or you may want to plug it in directly as well.
Thanks for the tips, Ron! I’ve often wondered about this service, so it’s nice to hear some firsthand experience.
