I sure do. I have had the system for 4 years. Works great and I don’t pay for my home phone.

Thumbs up!

Works good but be advised “free for life” also means the life of Ooma, the company - and the life of the box you buy. If they go out of business or require an upgrade to new hardware, you’ll have to pay again. So just divide the Ooma cost by your monthly landline bill and you’ll probably get your money back in well under a year - everything after that is gravy.

I would say the same. I haven’t had it go down too often either.

Comcast will call me to ask if I want digital voice. I tell them no because I have to pay for it.

I can tell the salesperson is interested themself, but I don’t tell them what system I have. LOL

I have it since Christmas. I like it very much. It's been very reliable. You just buy the equipment then follow the instructions. As long as you have wifi service. I now do the Premier service which is 10 dollars a month. I downloaded a Ooma Apps to I pod touch which gives me me 300 minutes free. The ipod touch becomes a phone. Also you can download on Iphone. Maybe that one is to save money on minutes so you do not use up Cell minutes per month on regular carrier. It's a good backup. After a year with premier you get your money back. Also another phone line( I mean right away with Premier).

Also you are billed county taxes which is 3 dollars on average around USA. I pay the the 3 dollar a month taxes myself.

It's nice to see no $34 or more monthly bill on your bank account. Just 10 dollars and 3dollars taxes. Ooma will set you up with who you pay by Zip code. You pay thru Ooma. Ken, I hope this helps you. I wish you the best.

Also it’s nice to know if I go through a family budget squeeze I can down grade from Premier to no monthly fee but 3 dollars tax a month. 36 dollars in a year. You can not do that with any one else. No never at least not now.

"After a year with premier you get your money back."

I meant compared to other Phone companies. Nobody is this low and reliable for this price. I use to pay $34 per month which is $408 a year. $13 +12= $146 a year. In the long run big savings.
