Ooma has one of the best rating.
They do charge/collect around $3.5 a month or about $42 a year for fee/taxes.
And likely they will increase more for the State and Local tax/fee which Ooma is currently absorbing the state & local taxes if any. In one of the post in their own forum, they said they are implementing state & local taxes in their system and they will be passed on to the consumers if applicable.

Alternatively , you can get this OBihai OBi110 analog phone adapter device that similar to Ooma but use Google Voice instead. Google Voice is free for now and OBi110 cost $50 and can work with many other Voip Services include other free Voip that offer free outgoing call like Whistle Phone, http://www.ipkall.com/ (free incoming), http://www.sipgate.com/, etc

I think they have a 6 months cap to use the international credit. So good deal for them who makes$50 worth of international call in 6 months.

Does anyone know if you can port a number over with only 90 days of premium service?

You have to get the paid premium service to get a free port. You don't have to port your number. They give you a new number when you sign up for the ooma account. I opted to port my number. It was $40.00 (or something like that) and took about a month to do. Best investment ever! I haven't paid a phone bill in over half a year.

Ooma is a homeless man's Google Voice.

i have had my ooma for about 1.5 years now and for the most part have been pleased with it. very rarely does it go offline (red flashing light instead solid blue light).
just one thing if you are a big downloader, you will want to put your ooma in front of your router so that it has access to your bandwidth first, before your computers (downloading), else the call quality will suffer from low bandwidth (to ooma). oh and those of you that might be planning to use it 24/7 and/or for a business that lives on the phone, you might want to think twice as ooma says they will cut you off if you go over X hours a month.

With a premium service you get either a free number port OR a free Telo handset. |

In my case it was easier to set up and from what I know you can't port your number to google and this was something that I wanted to do.

Ooma and Fax
hi all,Has anyone tried actually using Ooma with a real fax machine? their FAQ says it might be possible, but it is not definite. I'd like to know if anyone has really done it. thanks Thanks,
