With the Ooma moving to the Telo model, the old hub and scout version is being phased out. Yet to be verified but it appears that the old version may get grandfathered in with no recovery fee charge. If Ooma forum rumors are correct, the old models will be best bang for the buck so get them before it's all gone. See Ooma forum for latest rumors. Even if there will be a fee, it's less than $1/month after the first year. I won't waste time arguing about if this is worse or better than telo, or other VOIP. It's free (or $1/month after the first year at worst). All I want is free service. This works on my parents cable and at my house with 3G (270-350kbs download and 96-120kbs upload).
Here's the method... 1) Bing.com and search Dell (get 10% off from Bing CashBack link). Once on Dell's website, click on the right for Dell Small Business...SMALL BUSINESS.
2) Ooma $229.99 (A2373281 with free shipping) -20% coupon (5Q8VM9FP3VV$3D).
Here's the math... $230 - $46 (Dell coupon 20%) - $18 (Bing 10%) + $6 (tax of course) ~ $172 (final price, YMMV with tax).
Hope people who are on the fence find this helpful. And no, I don't suspect it's like Sunrocket as it's in more outlet then Sunrocket was ever in but only time will tell:shake:
I pulled the trigger on an Ooma Hub+Scout from Best Buy over the weekend; with the 10% off coupon, it came to right around $200. I was worried the Hub+Scout deals were all gone, and I definitely wanted to get one as it appears to be a better bet than the Telo. Wish I'd held out a couple of extra days!

For some reason the coupon code is not working, has anyone else had a problem with it? OP, have you tried the code? Great deal if i can make it work. Thanks so much.

I think I figured it out. The coupon code shows "5Q8VM9FP3VVD" but when you copy and paste with auto link it shows as "5Q8VM9FP3VV$3D", with the later being the correct one.
Correct coupon code: 5Q8VM9FP3VV$3D

Thank you. That code works. I am just about convinced to pull the trigger now. Hope they last a year or so.
i bought an ooma from Dell not long ago. i used a 15% off coupon and got 15% bing CashBack (yes, it worked). i was able to get free overnight shipping with it. i found it cheaper at Amazon and called Dell to cancel my order and told them I found it cheaper. . they offered me $20 more off if i kept the order with them. i did. i ended up getting it for around $160. try to call them to cancel and they may give you a $20 credit.

How long did it take after you ordered before you got Bing Cash Back notification?

Where did you get the 15% off coupon for Dell? Thanks
Isn't this only useful if you really like the regular handset at home idea?? I have not done too much research but have seen folks talking about google voice and installing apps. on their cellphones to get voip. Can someone explain why dropping $170 on this is still a good deal? Someone that has researched all the options/costs that is.
Please?
