Probably like you, I got fed up with Bell (Canada) screwing me over for a home phone. I've had the same number since 1988, and wanted to keep the land line, but was tired of paying $29.99 a month for the service. The final straw came when Bell ripped me off for an additional 12 dollars in fees when I made a long distance call. I didn't have a "plan" with them, so they punished me by charging for the call, added on a fee for not having a plan, and another fee for calling during business hours. Add the cost of the unpublished number, 9-11, and having a touch tone line, I was paying over $30 a month.

I looked at several options, and Ooma was the best. Luckily, I was right. The service is in a word, fantastic. It's crystal clear, I ported my home number and it comes with extra options like the ability to call across Canada for free.

If you're thinking about switching to Ooma, then do it. How do you compare $30 to $3.95? You can't.
