The price is $114.79 on Amazon now. I was able to choose the free slow delivery and get $3 in mp3 credits.

Ooma Taxes/fees History
3 years+ ago, no fee/taxes starting 2 years ago, $11.75 per year starting about 1-2 years ago, ~$42 per year
Starting this year 2012, depend on location It is as high as $72 to $84 per year
For example, zipcode 20853, $6.9 a month, 94115/94118, etc, $6.59 a month, etc. People in other forum pointed out Ooma hasn't fully implement their local fee/taxes system yet (Think about how many cities in USA and each has different rate). So in time, different zipcode will also include the additional local tax/fee if they haven't already.

Not 100% sure (I've never actually done it), but it looks promising. Might not be worth a special trip, but if you're going by one anyway it can't hurt to try.

OOMA is great. Have had it for about 3 years and use it for work daily. Never any problems. I probably average one dropped call a YEAR. (3 total so far.)

How is http://www.nettalk.com/ different than OOMA? My friend uses nettalk and he said good things about it. What's the difference beside nettalk is much cheaper.
Ooma is more upfront but cheaper longer run.. Nettalk has a yearly fee, Ooma is basically free (normal taxes apply).. I have Ooma premier for Google Voice..

Will the coupon code invalidate the 5% CB? I used it with coupon 1x and it was ok, but have read others where both will not work when combined??

Ok, in for 1. Thanks OP!. Old school Sunrocket user turned Teleblend and been happy ever since but I can't figure out a reason not to do this. I barely use home phone, but don't want to be without and even at $18 a month, after a year, I'm gonna stop hemorraging cash to a telco. What's not to love?

Here is a deal those who want OOMA premier may want. Link I just did it and the OOMA rep told me premier includes porting of a phone number. $49 plus 18 month commitment to premier.

I have Ooma premier for Google Voice..And NetTalk does not play well at all with google voice if you have other forwarding phones. Nettalk uses early media, it answers every call; so the other forwarding phones will ring once then stop. And since google sees the call as answered, google voicemail will initiate while the Nettalk Duo is still ringing the phone.

I use voip.ms right now and have been very happy with it. One thing i like you about it is that one can block calls from certain area codes, phones numbers, etc for no fee. Does ooma have that ability to block calls like voip.ms for free too?

Not true! OOMA costs $3.73/month (taxes and fees). That's $44.76/year. Nettalk costs $30(plus tax)/year. Nettalk also allows you to save even more by prepaying your bill 4 years in advance.
How are people making this pay? It's only a hair cheaper than the phone company with some of the fiber bundles, at least for the first few years. I guess the major issue is whether one opts for premier.

I/we are under the impression that phone line is at least $20/month for basic local service+tax(which is at least $5)-which used to be $30+. This is $3.50 a month with unlimited long distance with caller id/waiting.
Most of the voice bundle I see are like $33 for each service- $33 for high speed internet, $33 ... so ~$100/month. Uverse is ~$125 at least (I guess its why they can pay you a $350 rebate)

FiOS can be $85/mth for web, but $100/mth for it all, before say $200 rebate. My issue is I don't want TV. A second line is $10. Taxes are less than on copper. Ooma says fax is more reliable with the phone company.
Agree. It's been the best electronic gadget investment we made over 3 years ago when they were well over $200.

Why is Ooma better than Magic Jack?
Is there an additional fee to keep your current phone number? Or is it free to keep your current phone number?

Generally Ooma is regarded as the most stable and best quality VOIP service. Consumer Reports ranked it the best phone service (even above landlines). That said, it is more expensive, with up front cost and ongoing taxes. Porting your number is $40 one time fee, or if you pay for their $10/mo Premier feature package, porting a number is free.

I have an original model with no fees of any kind, any call in is from eBay....
Although Costco is $10 more you do get Costco's great return policy. However, if you're paying $40+/mo. for a landline like I was 3 years ago I see Ooma as being almost disposible since it paid for itself in 3 months in this case. So great return policy or not I'd go with the cheaper price.
