That said, for elderly folks or people with hearing issues, the voice quality is largely better than via cell phones, at least that's what my parents say. If they have to make an important call with a doc or anything else really important, they will ditch the phone/FaceTime/WhatsApp and use their "VoIP Landline", even though technically it goes all through same the Internet. So, don't discard the use case just because you are young and grew up with smartphone.
Community Reviews
Ooma Telo Air 2 is a simple Wi Fi home phone replacement that works well for keeping a traditional landline number alive. The service is praised for clear calls, reliable uptime, and compatibility with existing cordless handset systems, with mobile app voicemail access and message notifications adding convenience. Long term use is a recurring strength, with several setups still running after many years and some reporting major savings versus a regular carrier. The main tradeoffs are that it depends on internet service, has no battery or SMS, and still carries taxes and fees that can add up. A practical pick for households that want a familiar phone line without the old carrier bill.
Common Questions (5)
Basic service is typically about $7 to $9 per month after taxes and fees, with some users citing roughly $6 to $9 depending on ZIP code. Premier service is reported at $9.99 plus taxes and fees, which can total around $19 per month.
It has a strong long-term track record in these comments, with reports of units working for 10 to 18 years and service staying reliable with rare outages. One caveat is that an individual unit can eventually fail after many years.
Yes. Calls can go to Ooma voicemail, and messages can be checked on the device or through the Ooma phone app on a mobile device. Message notifications can still appear on the phone even if the hub's message light stops working.
Yes. It can replace a traditional landline while still feeding an existing multi-handset cordless base, including Panasonic systems. It is a practical fit if you want to keep your home phones but move the service to internet-based calling.
It relies on Wi‑Fi and does not have a battery to charge. That means it works as long as your internet and power are up, but it is not a battery-backed phone for outages.

I have a few hubs still operational around the world, and I have a telo grandfathered under lifetime premiere with no charges and fees. I'm an ooma customer for life lol.
The amex offer is good, I'm thinking about picking up some hd3 handsets or another bundle from ooma to have a spare for myself or friends / family.
Same here!
