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.

Ooma Telo Air 2 is a Wi Fi based home phone setup that works best as a simple landline replacement with cordless handsets, multiple phones around the house, and decent call quality. The service is described as reliable for long stretches, with clear audio, voicemail alerts on the app, and useful backup calling when cell phones are charging or missing. It can also be handy for households that want a shared house line or for older users who prefer landline style voice quality. The main catch is the ongoing fees, which typically run about $7 to $9 a month plus taxes and 911 charges, and the device depends on Wi Fi with no SMS support.
The service can work well for outgoing calls from a cabin with no dead zones when Wi‑Fi is available.
The hardware replacement experience reportedly improved reliability by eliminating frequent power-cycling and 'no line' errors.
Message notifications can still arrive on a cell phone or through the Ooma app even when the hub message light goes out.
Ooma can support a traditional landline-style setup with multiple handsets and intercom features across rooms.
The advertised $0 service charge can still lead to recurring taxes and fees that are typically around $6-$9 per month.
The system relies on Wi‑Fi availability and it has no battery for charging.
The service can randomly fail to connect, which can disrupt call access.
Porting a landline number into Ooma can cost about $40, even though porting out is free.
