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.

since then and they still both work. I have an old one, which uses ethernet connection. So, 30 years of service for $400.
Anyway, for that reason we are looking to keep the number that's been in the family for over 30 years and looking for best and most inexpensive option for the occasional incoming call.
Curious how Google Voice could be used in this scenario? We have a Panasonic multi-unit "landline" phone system that is currently connected to the Spectrum VoIP gateway/modem. This Panasonic unit also has a feature to connect via bluetooth to a cell phone.
Would porting this "landline number" over to a Google Voice account and then installing Google Voice on an old unlocked phone and connecting the cell phone to our Panasonic phone system via bluetooth achieve what we are trying to do? Or are there any caveats we need to consider for using Google Voice for this landline and the Panasonic system? Edit: On bit further research, looks like to port the landline number to Google Voice, we might have to temporarily port over from Spectrum to an intermediary cell phone/MVNO before finally porting over from the cell phone to Google Voice? Still trying to sort the steps out.
Thanks in advance for any input,

They charge $7.xx for basic service.
