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 described as reliable, clear, and easy to use with existing cordless handset systems, and it can also send voicemail alerts to a cell phone or app. Long term ownership stories point to years of steady use and meaningful savings versus a cable or carrier landline. The main tradeoffs are ongoing taxes and fees, no battery backup, no text messaging, and possible port in charges. A practical fit if you want a low maintenance home phone line.
The monthly cost can stay low when taxes and fees are limited to the stated range.
The service can work well for outgoing calls when Wi‑Fi is available at home.
The service can be used from a mobile device through the Ooma app.
The device can avoid frequent power-cycling issues seen with an earlier Wi‑Fi Telo 1.
Voicemail and app notifications can still deliver message alerts even when the hub message light stops working.
The setup can support a traditional multi-handset Panasonic cordless system for landline replacement use.
The basic service charge can add to the total monthly cost beyond the advertised $0 service charge.
The system relies on Wi‑Fi availability and has no battery for charging.
SMS support can be missing, which limits messaging options compared with some alternatives.
Porting a number into Ooma can cost about $40 even though port-out is free.
The device can eventually fail after long use, which may require replacing the hardware.
Spam calls can be a practical downside that discourages continued use after the device stops working.

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.
