I agree with you. Ooma allows 3,000 minutes a month for outgoing calls. It is in their TOS. They advertise unlimited, but it isn't. It should be illegal to do so.

One nice feature of Future-Nine is how well you advertise what is for sale. Future-Nine has always been honest about the service provided.
Ooma has stated several times in the forums on their web site that the 3,000 minute limit per month for outgoing calls is not strictly enforced. They basically have that in there to try and "encourage" people to NOT use ooma for telemarketing or as a business line. Their intent is for ooma to be a residential-only service, and the stated 3,000 minute limit gives them an easy out if they discover that someone is using ooma to place telemarketing calls or use it as their main business phone line.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-22063875 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:27:47 EDT Re: [Equipment] Setting up an Ooma with pictures and screen shot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-22063809
The problem with the false advertisement is EVERYONE is doing it.

My AT&T unlimited data plan is limited. I turned that feature on to listen to XM radio on my cell which they had listed under the Unlimited Data Plan. The very first time I attempted to use it a message popped up that said "You might want to consider the "Ultimate Unlimited Plan because this feature uses a lot of band width".

The only Company I have seen get a reprimand for this type of thing lately was some Drug Company on TV. They had to post a new add that said they got caught over pitching the Birth Control aspect of their product and the FDA wanted us to tell you that it will really not "Take your dog out for a walk" or something to that effect. And in my opinion the retraction commercial was done in a flippant manner and tone.

If AT&T and big name Drug Manufacturers can get away with this crap-ola some small VoIP outfit must be so far below the radar that they will never come under scrutiny.

But I definitely agree with you Nitzan, something needs to be done, albeit this type of thing has been going on for a very long time in a lot of markets. As long as the controlling agencies don't find the claims being made hazardous to your health they seem to turn a blind eye to the problem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-22063809 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:16:41 EDT Re: [Equipment] Setting up an Ooma with pictures and screen shot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-21970701

I wonder if that's really legal.... I know companies can change their terms and conditions at any time.. BUT! to sell a unit that says "service for life" (unless it is asterisked everywhere it says it)....seems that that would supersede that part of the terms and conditions (implied contract?).
I agree. I think what they're doing is bordering on illegal. They're advertising "free unlimited calls for life" - which implies YOUR life. But in reality it is the life of the device. It is not unlimited, either.

Some government agency really needs to step in and spank VoIP providers who false advertise. You can't advertise "unlimited" or "for life" when it is not!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-21970658 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 19:02:46 EDT Re: [Equipment] Setting up an Ooma with pictures and screen shot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-21970247
Unfortunately there were many complaints about my doing that.

On the Ooma box back it reads:

"Unlimited US calling with no monthly fees.

Caller-ID, call waiting, and voicemail at no extra charge.

911 service and exceptional voice quality and reliability.

The option to keep your home phone number.

Low cost international calling starting at a penny per minute.

An Ooma Scout that extends the Ooma experience to another phone in your home."

I'm trying to avoid premier, as lifetime doesn't seem available anymore.

I don't want an annual or monthly contract if it can be avoided.

Though it is nice to know the scouts could provide an extra line at a cost, if necessary.

See »www.ooma.com/lounge/addo ··· p?sku=vn (you'll have to login to your account) but here's the text:

Personal Number
With your subscription to ooma Premier, you get a second phone number for free. If you need more, your ooma system is up to the task. You can add up to 8 additional numbers, from any calling area in the US, to your account. Direct each number to ring on any extension in your home (ooma Scout required) or set custom ring patterns so you know who the call is for.

Each additional phone number is available for the low monthly charge of $4.99.

If the quality of the product wasn't great, and if the presentation of the online website, quality of voice, instant ability to use it weren't there ... I'd be more concerned.

For the moment, Ooma is seeking market share by offering unlimited phone service for $200. Plus $39 if you want to move your old phone number.

I don't think it's such a bad deal.

If it changes later, there is always Future-Nine.

I think an Ooma Core unit, can handle 2 lines, but they go through only a single POTS line. To get the additional line to work requires an Ooma Scout which has a DSL-like connection to the Ooma Core.
The scout and hub uses HPNA to communicate. The hub supports up to 4 scouts. With the premier service you get 2 lines like Viatalk works or you can get a separate phone number and voice-mail assigned to the scout. I thought I read somewhere (not too sure about this) that each additional scout can be assigned a phone number with its own voice-mail for $5 a month or just use them as extensions in other rooms. I really don't know how it integrates with a traditional pots line since I've been using voip as my home phone starting in 2003.

Ooma can change the terms of the agreement and eventually start to charge. I doubt they'd go bankrupt, instead it'd make more sense for them to start charging.

I would prefer a situation like the PAP2T where there are 2 separate POTS lines coming out.

Once the 2nd Ooma unit arrives, I'll report back.

In many ways voip internet services like Future-Nine are more capable. The PAP2T does take up less desk space, and is less noticeable in a jumble of cables. The Ooma also has large, functional, buttons which can be pressed by accident.

I'd prefer to use the Ooma service via a PAP2T, but that isn't permitted.

The more I use Ooma, the more it's superior voice quality becomes apparent. It is most noticeable when two people are talking at the same time. I'm not certain what the technical term is, but with a SIP VOIP call, there is warble, stutter, noise, whatever you want to call it. With Ooma when two speak at the same time, you can hear what each is saying clearly, it is more like the landline experience. Maybe it's duplexing, maybe it's different delay, I don't know. Ooma provides a more landline-like experience for voice quality.

That is a problem with not only Ooma and Future-Nine, but even with Vonage. Any VOIP company other than a major telco can go out of business. It appears the telco's aren't interested much in VOIP.

Ooma may the the killer phone appliance, or it may be a ponzi scheme. Only time will tell. Until then, we get to make inexpensive calls.

I ordered a 2nd Ooma today, to see if it is 2 line capable behind my router. If it works well, I'll migrate my current Future-Nine number to Ooma, then my primary AT&T number.

In a year, the savings from moving AT&T alone will justify the two units.

One thing I'm not currently thrilled about ... when I get incoming calls my caller ID is 10 digits (3 digit area code, and 7 digit local phone number). When trying to call back on the caller ID, it doesn't work as there either needs to be a 1 in front of the caller ID or there Ooma requires no area code for local calls.

This makes calling back from a received caller ID a bit of a pain with Ooma.

I'm not certain if this is a configuration issue with Ooma or with my phone. I know when using Future-Nine with the same phone, calls worked with 7, 10 or 11 digit numbers. It appears Ooma wants 7 or 11 digits.

Just ordered one.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-21959302 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 20:27:31 EDT Re: [Equipment] Setting up an Ooma with pictures and screen shot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-21954407 --

Should be a setting or something on your phone that will force it to display 11 digits. At least mine have a setting like that.
A more effective solution would be to have Ooma fix it on their side. :) Not all phones have this kind of setting, so plenty of users would be just stuck with the problem. It really doesn't take a whole lot of work to do this kind of translation so it kinda baffles me why more providers don't do it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-21953796 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 15:12:48 EDT Re: [Equipment] Setting up an Ooma with pictures and screen shot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-21953784 said by pandora:

I'm not certain if this is a configuration issue with Ooma or with my phone. I know when using Future-Nine with the same phone, calls worked with 7, 10 or 11 digit numbers. It appears Ooma wants 7 or 11 digits.
This is an issue with Ooma- not your phone. Basically they need to do one of two things:
1. Edit your dial plan (assuming Ooma has one..) to add a 1 before 10 digit numbers.
2. Edit their code to translate 10 digit numbers to 11 digit.

We just edited the code to translate 7 and 10 digits to 11 on our side, so anything would work.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-21953784 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 15:10:23 EDT Re: [Equipment] Setting up an Ooma with pictures and screen shot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-21953779 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-21953779 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 15:09:07 EDT Re: [Equipment] Setting up an Ooma with pictures and screen shot http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Setting-up-an-Ooma-with-pictures-and-screen-shot-21953778

This makes calling back from a received caller ID a bit of a pain with Ooma.

Seem like that solves that problem. If it was one.
I'll keep watching to see what happens. It is a more interesting device than my PAP2T in terms of activity.

In defense of Ooma, its voice quality is very good.
