Perhaps do what Google does with GV. Give all of your premier customers ten cents.Bobby B wrote:Totally agree - having Premier should've been enough to get folks started using the Mobile client. We currently have this limitation in our billing system: SIP and International calls require a prepaid account and the only way to create a prepaid account is to purchase prepaid calling credit.
We were hoping to workaround the above limitation by automatically creating the prepaid account with a small starting balance when the Ooma Mobile was enabled. Unfortunately, we weren't able to implement this in time for App store launch - though hopefully we'll have this sometime in the near future.

Re: iPhone app cost
Thanks. I just purchased the apps and tested on my iPod Touch, the app and the free minutes are a good reason to keep up with the premier service.
I'm currently in Germany and the call quality sounded great. Will have to test a bit more over the weekend. Will be interesting to see the future upgrade to allow inbound calling.

Re: iPhone app cost
Thanks for the update Bobby. Just purchased the Ooma app. I was surprised to see there wasn't any Dashboard connection built-in to the app. Will that be added in the future? I would love to pull up a list of my voicemails from the app and play them. And also see the call history from my home phone.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Re: iPhone app cost
I was really interested in the Ooma App, until I learned about their pricing structure and cost for the app. I now have no interest at all in Ooma's App. The overall cost is was to much for what you get, in my opinion. I have a ton of AT&T roll over minutes and just can't see any justification in paying all the fees associated with the Ooma App.

Re: iPhone app cost
I also have a ton of roll over minutes (Net10 using ATT) but like the fact that I can use the app on my iPod Touch when at a place that has splotchy ATT coverage but an available WiFi signal. I also like the fact that I get 250 minutes free each month with my Premier subscription. I guess I don't understand the "paying all the fees associated with the Ooma App" thing. I don't pay anything extra unless I go over the free minutes - and even then it is a lot cheaper than cell minutes.FreePhone wrote:I was really interested in the Ooma App, until I learned about their pricing structure and cost for the app. I now have no interest at all in Ooma's App. The overall cost is was to much for what you get, in my opinion.

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

I think though it really depends on how fast the Internet connect is, that the WiFi signal is connected to.southsound wrote:but like the fact that I can use the app on my iPod Touch when at a place that has splotchy ATT coverage but an available WiFi signal.
$10 for the app and then you have to put $10 on the account.southsound wrote:I guess I don't understand the "paying all the fees associated with the Ooma App" thing.

That is not the case any longer. In an earlier post, Bobby B said they were trying to find a way to add a small balance when you enable the app. They have now done so. You would do well to read the posts made by the moerators - they can be very informative.

Re: iPhone app cost
I was wondering if I do not use all my 250 minutes per month ... Do they roll forward??
Please tell me that they do.... AT&T keeps the roll over minutes for up to 1 year... Please...???
Are the 250 minutes per month from 1st thru the end of the month??
Thank you...
