Is the telo a new model? What are the differences from their original model?


Here is a feature comparison...

http://www.ooma.com/products/ooma-telo/compare

For me, the big difference was getting the free voice mail and phone service grandfathered. I didn't want to have to set up a payment plan for the annual charge of $10.75.


Can you elaborate on the free voice mail and the annual $10.75 charge? When you say "grandfathered" I am confused... did you already own the hub and you upgraded to the telo?

Is this also at Costco B&M or just online?

It looks to be an online only situation right now...

Shipping is free (included) and they will take anything you buy online back at the store, so if you want to return it for whatever reason, you can. At no charge to you.

I would assume they will have Telos at the store soon enough.


I just purchased the hub from a B&M Costco. Does anyone understand

d. The annual regulatory recovery fee applies per the original terms and conditions?

Does this mean I have to pay or not have to pay the $12 annual? I know the Hub/Scout from Costco.com does not as it is clearly stated but it is a little vague when it comes to the Hub only.
