Depends on how much Square Trade charges. Ooma charges (last I've seen) $39.99 for 1 year extended warranty.
If you bought with a credit card, check if that credit card would give you double the warranty.
This all depends on personal preference. Some people want to chance it yet others may not. Ooma's business model originally was based on these devices lasting about 5 years but I've seen some reports of Telos going out right after a year.
This page will tell you when your warranty expires:

Towards the end of expiration is when that same page would offer Ooma's extended warranty. If not, you can call in to Ooma customer service to ask. 1-888-711-OOMA

Probably normal to feel warmth on the bottom. I've heard from folks saying "it doesn't matter" but I tend to believe it can only help to cool down the device. A few methods:
Netbook Cooling Pad
Raised - on top of some grill
On rubber feet -
1" Sorbothane Hemisphere Rubber Bumper Non-skid Feet with Adhesive 50 Durometer - 4-Pack
Vertical - picture
easel would work too.
Also, for longevity, get an
UPS unit and plug your Ooma into it.

If your area has enhanced 911 service (most non rural areas have enhanced 911 service), should be the same because the service center gets your address information transmitted to them and you don't have to tell them your address.
