    Is anyone using anything other than Asterisk?
  • Brad Baumgardner

    I use Ooma. I like the service and it completely meets my needs.
  • Brad Baumgardner

    Unfortunately no 808s when I signed up so I got an area code where my mainland family members live. The call quality is good. Sometimes scratchy but only on my end. Others hear me fine. I also pay 2.5c/min to call friends overseas. I did sign up for their premiere service. Good stuff. Local calls I usually just use my cell but I haven't had issues when using it locally.

    I don't see how they intend on making money with it. I see a shift toward cell phones as the primary line. I personally haven't had a home phone line in probably 5 years.
  • Brad Baumgardner

    Yes, the premier service is where they (Ooma) make their money. The premier service is good though, not necessary, but good. Second line, three way calling, etc.

    Ooma does have 808 numbers in the 664- prefix I have the Ooma box with the 664 prefix for my business has been rock solid.

    I went to the ooma website

    Its intended for personal use only. they basically state they will terminate service if you are using it for non residential use. they actually have a definition to the word "unlimited" meaning that its not actually unlimited, but their version of unlimited up to 5,000 minutes.

    or for "The use of the base unit at a multi-residential address for more than one single residence " So if I pick it up and move it with me whenever I go... it can be considered a violation of the rules.

    plus of course they have the standard scape goat, "if we screw you over, you cant sue us" clause
    "9 Mandatory Arbitration; No Jury Trial"

    plus of course it has the "if we screw you all at the same time, that's too bad" clause
    "You agree not to bring or join any class action of any kind in court or in arbitration or seek to consolidate or bring previously consolidated claims in arbitration."
