I knew it was a trick! Good one Woot!

rich

If I bought one of these and brought it with me to the UK, would it work overseas?

I have the same model from a woot-off a year ago. I love it. Works great. One of my neighbors has trouble getting through for some reason. They also use an internet phone device too. But thats been the only glitch.

I've had Ooma for about six months now, and my only problems come from my own ISP and it safely failed over to my cellphone, so I didn't miss any calls. After straightening out my ISP, I haven't had any problems at all.

I highly recommend it, but I don't know that a refurb is a good deal. I understand they may charge a fee for using a device that was already registered to someone else, so I would confirm that before buying... it might end up costing the same as a new unit.

Urgh. I had an Ooma VoIP system, and it was just plain terrible. I've got good broadband speeds at home, no traffic shaping, and yet the quality of calls on the Ooma network was consistently terrible.

I have since switched to their main competitor, Vonage, and have no complaints. You cannot program the Telo to use another service, and so have to rebuy if you switch.

Overall .. meh.

Hurray!! Christmas won't have to be canceled!!

Conversely, now we'll be waiting forever for these thing to sell out.

None. It was one screamig monkey!

Man, I wake up and nearly have a heart-attack- I thought the woot-off was over!

But now I am happy

example(s) would be helpful in a post such as this. you're definitely in the minority with that opinion. i've got nothing but good things to say.

How to get people to complain less about woot-offs:
1) Take away the flashing lights and make it look like a normal woot deal
2) bring back the lights
3) sit back and watch people comment about they are glad that the woot-off is still going

I see two lights!

And it was good.

Can someone answer the question about bringing this overseas and using it on a UK ISP?

We just bought one from Woot last month for our cabin. We have 1.5 megabit dsl. Phone works like a champ!

Cheapest one on amazon is $200... http://www.amazon.com/Ooma-Telo-Free-Phone-Service/dp/B002O3W4LE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320850942&sr=8-1

Make some quick cash on this deal through amazon!

This could be your last real phone bill! Ooma is rated #1 by Consumer Reports for phone service. Had them for years, great product and service.

I've had Ooma for about a year now, and although it was rocky to start, it was a router config issue on my end. Once I put this on the DMZ, it's rock solid and much less money that most other services out there, even when you purchase the premium service.

aaaaand we're back!

Ooma's been providing phone service for 3 weeks now at my house - no problems with switch-over, service, or quality of sound. They ported my number in five days, which is a record around here, I'm sure. It's only been a few weeks, but I've got no complaints with Ooma. Ooma's a hardworking lady!

dognose wrote:Buy three. This rocks.

FTFY

Do you have to pay anything or use it a minimum amount in order to get and keep a phone number?

I use this as a second business line and would recommend it.

Good boy! Now stay!!

Ooma rocks!!!

I have had Ooma for 3 years and had no problems. This is a fantastic price. If you are even considering VoIP, I would grab one of these.

Does the power supply multi voltage? Like 100-240v?

Difference is this one is refurbished, the one on Amazon is new. However to answer someone's previous statement, you do NOT have to pay a registration fee even though it is refurbished. Woot is an official dealer for Ooma. I bought one here 8 months ago, its been awesome! No quality issues, paying only taxes per month, like $3.40 for unlimited nationwide calls/month. Can't beat it.

I am sorry for all the things I broke in my hour of rage. The screen was like that when I got here so I am not sorry for that.

Glad it happened at work instead of home.

I have had Ooma for a few months and it is fantastic. Just remember that not all security systems will work with it.

Ha! WOOT sent everybody to bed last night!

Can you transfer numbers to these?

I can see it now.... the whole Woot staff gathered around one computer while one of them says "watch this" and hits a huge red button that pauses the Woot Off. Meanwhile the geeky little guy from accounting is taking bets on how many frantic Wooters will post comments about this being the worst Woot Off ever. Finally the boss strolls in to put an end to the shenanigans. At least that's how it happened in my head.

Woot on

Game on!!!! I was beginning to think the Big ol' Cornucopia was going to be sold on one of the other Woot-Off sites.

The Woot Off is on (again)!!!
Back to not working!

I think the only thing you will have issues with is the power adapter. Internet should work just fine. I think I noticed on a previous Woot conversation someone mentioned they were using it in China or some place over seas.

Yes, $39.99 "Port" fee.

I left Vonage for this. And I agree there were some growing pains... but once I moved the ooma to the DMZ, it's been perfect ever since.

Can you use a google number with this for free calls to Canada?
