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 home phone replacement that works well as a backup landline, especially for households that want multiple handsets and a familiar house phone setup. The service is described as reliable for long stretches, with clear calls, voicemail access through the device or app, and compatibility with existing cordless systems. It also appeals to people who want a low monthly bill, often around $7 to $9 plus taxes and fees. The main caveats are Wi Fi dependence, no battery backup, and occasional connection or pricing complaints. A practical fit if you want a traditional landline feel without the old phone bill.
The hardware can last for many years, with reports of about 15 to 18 years of reliable home telephone service.
The service can work flawlessly after replacing a Wi‑Fi Telo 1 that previously required frequent power-cycling for no line errors.
The system can provide clear voice quality and voicemail notifications through the Ooma app even when the hub message light stops working.
The service can be used from a mobile device and can support caller ID features that may reduce costs versus a cell carrier over time.
The system can stop working after long use, and some users choose not to replace it due to spam call volume and the need for a POTS setup.
The service relies on Wi‑Fi availability and can lack SMS support, which may limit functionality during connectivity problems.
The device can randomly fail to connect, which can interrupt the ability to place or receive calls.
The monthly cost can rise beyond a simple $0 service charge, with reports of bundled Premier pricing totaling about $19 per month after taxes and fees.
