Wait so essentially if I were to call a relative in Boston over the Ooma network it would go from my Ooma to someone in Boston's Ooma and then make a local POTS call to my relative who doesn't have Ooma.... what is to stop this random person in Boston from having another phone connected to their POTS line and listening in on my call? Count me out on this one!

Not to mention it sounds like gram would see some random Boston Ooma user's caller-ID and likely not pick up the phone. |

That local call in Boston is made either using that unwitting volunteer's caller ID, or the caller ID is blocked.
If blocked, then calls to many places would not complete.
If not blocked, calls might be returned to the Boston customer's number rather than the desired one. I would give that Boston customer about 1 day before they pulled the plug!
The $399 up-front fee is so they can take your money and run. |

Damn you call 911 and they end up 500 miles away! |
