Ooma Telo VoIP for $99 (New Condition) + $5 ship

Quote from batcatman : do I need to be a premier member to make international calls, like th 10$/1000 min plan?

No you don't, but Canada is Free for Premier

Best features of Premiere ...

1. Email/text message when you get a voicemail.
2. Call forwarding.
3. 2nd line
4. Number port

I've had Ooma for close to 3 years. While I did run into an issue one time with the hardware it has been a great experience overall. I paid $200 for the Hub/Scout plus 3 years of Premiere. That's $500 or around $175/year. For similar calling features and 2 lines I was paying $60/month through Comcast. Ooma has paid for itself 10x's over already.

For those curious about call quality ... I work from home and spend about 6 hours/day on conference calls. I can count on one hand how many times I've had an issue. Usually the issues are related to Comcast getting knocked off-line (which would have screwed up my VOIP with them as well).

This is a steal of a deal for those that were going to get Premiere any way.

Quote from snowcrash : To break it down into details... $99 (Telo) + $5 (shipping) + $100 (Premier service) + $45 (yearly tax estimate) = ~$249 1st year cost.

Thanks for the breakdown. I already got Ooma, when I signed up I didn't enroll in Premier so I had to pay $40 to port over my number from AT&T. Number porting is free with Premier so you may wanna keep that in mind when you weigh this against other Telo deals.

I'm very happy with the Ooma call quality as well. Given the option of being on a conference call with my cell phone, Skype, GoToMeeting, or Ooma, Ooma is the most trouble free.

Was gonna jumped on this but I got the Sears $130 deal.

So for me, Sears deal will be $130 (2 free months Premiere) + $40 port = $170. I don't need the Premier service.
With this deal, it will be $105 + $100 (free port) = $205. I'll stick with the Sears deal... don't want to have to call in and deal with customer service when canceling Premiere.

I know, there are taxes but I just include the base price.

FYI, you cancel Premier online. It's very easy. I've never had to call to speak with anyone at Ooma ever, for porting my number or canceling Premier.

Not true, my brother signed up 2 years ago (full year) and he couldn't cancel it online (the link says to call the 800 number); he had to call and each time, they gave him a $20 discount to keep the service so he kept it. I'm not saying it's hard to cancel but it's not as convenient as canceling it online without dealing with a person. That's how Ooma makes their money so they will do whatever to have you keep the service.

Hmm that wasn't my experience when I canceled last year. I got the Premier for free for new sign ups and was able to cancel it via the online page.

Ooma is the best. Long time customer and never had one problem.

I also was able to cancel online.

Quote from srbsan : Ooma Telo VoIP for $99. [groupon.com] These are NEW and NOT refurbished (Most discounted Ooma boxes seem to be refurbished) Box requires Premier Service only for 10 months, and then you can go back to paying no monthly fee. If you wish to port your #, and use premier anyway, this is worth it. Includes FREE # Porting, which saves $40! From what I see, if you were leaning to Ooma, want a new box, and would go w/ Premier, I this is the best deal I have seen yet. I personally have the Hub/Scout and have never had a problem. I have a 10MB internet speed package from Time Warner, and calls have been crystal clear.

Now why would I want to be forced into paying the $9.99 a month for 10 months?

Wow, what's with the low prices on these all of the sudden?

15% cashback at discover.

Taxes & fees are $3.76 per month for me.

Should I buy this or wait for a $130 deal at sears ?

AT &T is such a huge ripoff. It would pay for itself in 9 months.
$213 for 9 months and then $3.76 a month from then on.

How long does it take to port the # ?

Premiere isnt worth $2 a month to me but I AM ready to get away from AT&T.

Does the groupon have a money back guarantee ?

Because it allows them to offer the deal for $99 rather than $199.

Quote from theazman : Now why would I want to be forced into paying the $9.99 a month for 10 months?

If its so great, why is everyone cancelling ?

Or do you mean cancelling premier ?

Quote from JJsnyder : I also was able to cancel online.

With the 15% cashback it comes out to $218.08 for the first 9 months....$23.675 per month and then $3.76 per month afterwards.

Wish there was a way to get out of paying the stupid $3.76 per month.

Assuming the thing lasts 3 year with no issues and taxes & fees do not increase, the per month cost is lowered to $8.74 per month.

Versus $33.25 for basic not including caller ID that I now pay. Increased $5.45 for no reason this month.
