The troll "rakesh15" is down.

Wow! What's this all about? C'mon you guys. Just because rakesh15 is curious about another VOIP carrier doesn't make him a troll on this forum. I see no harm whatsoever with comparing Ooma to any other VOIP service, particularly since I am o of the opinion that it stands well above most and either meets or beats the better known products. But, let's face it, Ooma isn't for everyone; e.g., what some view as advanced features that they want, others might consider as overly complex. As far as price is concerned, there are less expensive systems, and for some people, that is the only concern.Potts wrote:The troll "rakesh15" is down.
Just like Magic Jack, they can't do number porting as of yet. Unless that happens, don't think they'd be a viable home phone replacement solution for many folks.roadshow wrote:I see NetTalk is still in business. Anyone have any recent information or comparisons?
Please do let us know your findings.Lilly's_Closet wrote:I am going to get the Net Talk service to compare.
I (along with many firends/family on the west coast) haven't noticed any degradation in Ooma service. We were only impacted by the recent "incoming call" outage that lasted less than a day. Hence, "horrible" may be a bit too strong unless you were impacted by most incidents/issues reported on this forum.Lilly's_Closet wrote:I have used countless VOIP providers and to be honest, Ooma Service has been horrible as of late.
This forum is for folks to report issues and seek help. Of course you are going to see issues reported here. This doesn't mean that Ooma is "horrible." On the contrary, this forum makes Ooma great! I think the best part about Ooma is that I don't have to worry whether I sound like Max Headroom while saving oodles of money.Lilly's_Closet wrote:I personally do not care what the name of my VOIP is only that they deliver a reliable product/service, and at times, this has been lacking…just read through the forums for documented proof.
If Ooma is not challenged in this forum as it and other VOIPs are in other fourms what really is the value here. I love it…when it works it works well but I am in it for a lot of money so it there is a better solution I want to know about it…and as importantly I want ooma to know about it. One of the keys to success in business is…Don’t be afraid of the competition be better then them…lbmofo wrote:Please do let us know your findings.Lilly's_Closet wrote:I am going to get the Net Talk service to compare.
Absolutely, its similar forums that brought me here ooma but originally, when they using their users as termination points it was not well respected in the community. A lot of things have changed since then, the service when operating as advertised (a replacement to your phone service) is incredible.
However, I have 14 ooma core units deployed across the US and 13 of those 14 units have experienced the issues listed below. That last one located in CA has only experienced the 1-800 routing issue.
I try to only put out good information check my postings. Just don’t be mad at me if this new provider provides a more reliable product. Remember that while your oooma works wonderful. Your located at one place your probably only using one of their servers based on your location and your calls terminate using mostly the same resources. I have a better picture because I am in 14 states all a using High Speed ISP. I not mad at Ooom I just need a solution.

Current recurrant issues all documented in the fourm.
Intermittent failure to connect to local numbers.
Intermittent failure to connect to vontage numbers.
Intermittent failure to connect to Verizon cell numbers.
Intermittent Garbled and or echoing voice quality.
Intermittent slowness on the ooma web interface.
Poor Tech Support.
Poor communication for known issues, come on I am not going to follow you on twitter or friend you on facebook…you are a vender who provides a service not my friend. Please don’t ask, me to do your advertising for you, I will based on your good deeds not so I can find out when Ooma is not working.
