New ooma user - just signed up. Using the "Hub-and-Scout" freebeee.
Managed to figure a way (trial and error) to get a phone number in my area code that even the fine foreigner on the other end of the Customer Support line couldn't find... I was going to pack the whole thing up and send it back if my locals would have had to LD to call me - it's bad enough we're a few miles from both the Time Zone and the LATA... If the gobs of cell carriers can get numbers in 812, why can't ooma?
Otherwise it seems to work fine - I have a 2 line POST phone with the "twisted pair" on line 1 and ooma on line 2. I calculate that in 6.6 months, ooma will have paid for itself, and yes, I know it's only "always on" as long as the Internet and the AC are on, but I have a mobile phone as a backup...
Next is to figure out about the answering machine they offer versus my good old Radio Shack clunker I have preferred for 15 years... Looking forward to learning more and "tweaking" for optimum usefulness.
