I just got an Ooma Telo and was wondering when do I get charged for the Fee's associated with the phone? Does the charge happen monthly or yearly? Does it start right away or next year?
Re: When are the fees charged?
No customer has been charged these fees yet, since they don't start until one year after purchase on purchases made starting in November 2009.

Re: When are the fees charged?
To clarify there are two regulatory recovery fee (RRF) types out there:
- If your retail box says "...We need to charge roughly $11.75/year" - You have a $11.75 annual RRF starting the second year. Ooma picks up the RRF for the first year of service so you'd only pay starting the 2nd year.
- If your retail box says "...fees are billed monthly" - You have a monthly RRF (check this link for the amount) starting the second month. The only exception to this is if you activated before early April, in which case you'd have the $11.75/year RRF.

Nothing is free, especially when the government sees a way to pull in more money.McKayCR wrote:I thought ooma was free? what the heck happened?

Let me tell you
How it will be.
There's one for you,
Nineteen for me,
'Cause I'm the taxman.
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
Should five percent
Appear too small,
Be thankful I don't
Take it all.
'Cause I'm the taxman.
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
If you drive a car,
I'll tax the street.
If you drive to city,
I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold,
I'll tax the heat.
If you take a walk,
I'll tax your feet.

Friends don't remember what Landline Integration was or why we did it.

Re: When are the fees charged?
Ok I am confused. If I use the Tac Calculator on this site is says I pay $3.47 a month.
If I login to my ooma it says I pay $11.75 a year. I assume my ooma telo gives the accurate amount, since it is specific to me?
I also assume this amount is automatically deducted from my registered Credit Card via OOMA??

The fees that apply as shown on the tax calculator are only for new Telo customers who activate starting in April.

See the post about fees by Bobby B above: http://www.ooma.com/forums/viewtopic.ph ... 527#p52847. Depends on what your box says.gtjr92 wrote:Ok I am confused. If I use the Tac Calculator on this site is says I pay $3.47 a month.

And yes, the fees shown when you log into your account should be accurate. I wouldn't use the calculator without logging into my account first, and seeing if the link to the calculator is even there.
Re: When are the fees charged?
Go with what the fine prints on the back of the retail box said ($11.75 on my box). I activated my Telo account in April and still pays the $11.75 after the first year.bw1 wrote:As far as I know, yes and yes.gtjr92 wrote:Ok I am confused.

I guess Telos after a certain serial number will charged the $3.47 monthly fee. I'm glade I didn't waited too long to get it.
