QuestionIs Ooma premier plan is a better option than basic plan? Is this the only box I need ? I have two Panasonic phones (AT&T service now). I see another item on Bestbuy with phones for $109. Do I really need that or just this one?
Asked 3 years ago by Tina.
- Answer Your existing phones hardwired or wireless will work with the Ooma device. If you have no need for call waiting, call forwarding or caller id, the basic plan will only cost you what your State's local taxes are for phone service. The premium service gives you all the Bell's and whistles. In my opinion the premium service is very affordable and that's why I chose it myself.

Questionhow much cost tax for ooma, do you have to paid month by month or the whole year
Asked 5 years ago by Tonylqbt15.
- Answer The tax depends on what state you live in. For example, in Texas, it costs just a little over $5 a month. You can pay for Ooma Premier for the whole year, but you would still have pay the tax month by month, if I'm not mistaken.

QuestionI have NCaps which is free internet because I have a tower on my property. Will the Telo VoIP work on this? It's faster than Dish. I can do streaming with it.

QuestionWith the premier price, is it $9.99 + the $5+ taxes and fees, making it $15+ a month? Or is it more than that?
Asked 3 years ago by Wendy.
- Answer The total charges are the monthly taxes plus the fee for ooma premier. As an example I pay around $6 a month for the taxes and $135.55 per year for the premier service. The monthly taxes as I understand it pay for services like 911, and these vary depending on the state you live in. The premier service is probably the same everywhere.

QuestionCan I buy to replace an old unit that stopped working?
Asked 4 years ago by J.
- Answer Yes, that’s exactly what I did. Had to call Ooma tech support and go to the advanced tech support for them to move my info from the old device to the new one. Worked fine afterwards, but thought the process was bit complex for what I thought should be a bit easier.

QuestionCan I keep my same number?
Asked 5 years ago by Boober.
- Answer In most cases you can. On their website they can tell you if it can. It is called porting and takes about a week. Do not cancel your old service until it is ported.

QuestionI have an existing Ooma home phone and I need to replace it. Is there a replacement process for the new unit or is it plug and play?
Asked 5 years ago by Jeff.
- Answer If you're referring to the actual control unit, not a handset, you need to call or chat with Ooma customer service.

QuestionDo you need a PC or laptop to initially set this up and configure this device? Once configured do you still need a PC or laptop to run this device? Thank you!
Asked 5 years ago by PotentialBuyer.
- Answer Yes, you need a PC (or a tablet, laptop, smartphone, etc...) to pick a phone number and activate the device. Once it's up and running, you technically no longer need the PC just to use Ooma as a phone service. *BUT* it's easier to monitor your voice mail, missed calls, etc... via a PC. Also if you want to change any settings you'll need a PC for that as well.

QuestionWill Ooma work with a 20 year old landline based home alarm system if I port over my current home phone number?
Asked 5 years ago by Hunkapalooza.
- Answer I've worked in the security industry for about 25 years and can tell you that even newer alarm systems may have trouble communicating over VOIP. Alarm panels and alarm receivers were not designed to use VOIP. We had many people who would drop their landline phone service only to discover that now their alarm panel will not communicate. Contact your alarm company and see if there might be an option for cellular communication, even for your older system.

QuestionSo i buy the Ooma and then have phone service with no additional monthly cost except tax
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes, that is correct! You have to have high-speed internet access--but Ooma turns the call into Voice Over IP (VOIP) and sends your "call" through the internet to equipment that then send its to the destination's phone.

QuestionIf I switch to OOMA phone service, do I need to buy a new phone ?
Asked 3 years ago by April.
- Answer Absolutely not. This will handle voice as well as faxing with standard "normal" equipment. If you want to keep your current phone number though, you will have to contact your current provider to port it to your Ooma. This can take from a few days, to several weeks, depending on how bad/good your provider is at customer service. I've had my Ooma since February 2022 and I pay $6.07/mo for my phone servicev without any issue. Basically, I'm paying the taxes only....

QuestionHow do I connect my existing phones?
Asked 3 years ago by scott.
- Answer The Telo has one conventional phone jack in the back. For multiple extensions, it's best to use one base phone with as many wireless extensions as desired (up to the limit of your base phone). We use an AT&T base that allows up to 11 extensions. In theory, a splitter can be used to plug in multiple phones/base units, but the higher power draw can compromise performance of the Ooma service.

QuestionI have several handsets connected with my current provided phone service. With Ooma, must one phone be plugged in to the Ooma unit or does one plug the Ooma unit to the jack on the modem/gateway? I can't figure out how multiple handsets will work.
Asked 3 years ago by PEPPY.
- Answer Ooma is plugged into cat 5 from your internet and any phone jack in the system. All phones in the system are now live

Asked 4 years ago by lamar.
- Answer Beware of making any purchase until you check with your internet provider that they support Ooma. I have AT&T and they do not support third party connections, they are blocking my Ooma device with a firewall.

QuestionCan I use the same phone number at two different address with two different telo devices?
Asked 4 years ago by Buzz.
- Answer You can have two physical phones with same number such as an expandable phone system where one is connected to your Ooma, and the another in a different location “within” your house as long as your phone signal is strong enough. If you were to buy two Ooma devices each device has its own serial number that when activated you must select a unique phone number for it, so you wouldn’t be able to select the same number if it’s already assigned to another Ooma device. I recommend you double check w/ Ooma.

QuestionDo I need to have landline home phone service in place or just internet?
Asked 5 years ago by QueenZ.
- Answer You will need high speed internet to plug this into. Then just plug your existing phone into the back of the Ooma and you still have a landline--but at only $6 per month (for the taxes and access fees). We save $45 per month with this. The only problem I had was the following: the Ooma is plugged in upstairs. My downstairs wall-mounted phone didn't get enough power for it to work correctly. I just got a Uniden cordless phone with multiple handsets (in my case--a 3-phone system) and plugged the base unit into the Ooma. The second handset it upstairs and the third is downstairs. Everything works great!
