Well too decided to go for the Premier service and I must say it’s not bad at all. There were a few glitches along the way but none that were deal killers. The number porting went just as promised and now I’m only paying half of what I was paying AT&T. I can’t wait to see what new features they add next year.

Just performed a 2 week eval on a cable 8 meg down/512 up service.

Call quality was not acceptable for home office use.

Pulled it, repackaged, returned it to costco.

Reinstated VOIP with ISP.

RIP OOMA.

I just bought Ooma and will join their Premier service for the first year. Those of you who like Ooma, why don’t you join their Premier service for $99/year or $12.99/month. That way you will enjoy more features and they will be there longer to serve all of us.

Ooma is amazing. I love getting notified of voicemails via my blackberry and email. It’s like having my company’s cisco phone system at my house. I am impatiently waiting to get my hands on the ooma telo and give my old core to my parents. It should only be a few more months…

D’oh!

Excited about Ooma, I called Best Buy to see if they were in stock. They were.

And then I noticed the Ooma Telo… which is prettier, feature-ier, more polished, and means I don’t have to buy a bunch of cordless phones.

Well here’s a little scoop for you, TechCrunch readers. While the Telo was first announced at CES 2009 and supposedly would launch “first half 2009,” Telo customer support said the following in an e-mail to me:

1. There is no planned upgrade path for recent Ooma purchasers to the Telo hardware.

2. Telo pricing has not yet been decided.

3. Telo’s launch will be “mid to late 2009″

Bummer.

I’m another very satisfied OOMA customer. I’ve had it about a year and it’s been fantastic. It simply works – no crashes, no problems. I was worried that my flaky internet service would be a problem but it hasn’t proven to be much of an issue. The one time where it was, the ooma service still functioned such that I received voicemail during the outage.

On the other hand, those who have complained that number porting is a pain… well, they are right. Not sure why it’s so much harder to port to OOMA then it was to port a cell phone number between carriers – but it is.

I absolutely love my Ooma. I’ve had it for 6 months, with very little issues, besides that one outage reported on Techcrunch.

Got Ooma in December to replace Vonage — hope they stick around because once you stop paying phone bills there’s no going back.

We’ve been very happy with the Ooma at our office. We got it for less than $200 at J&R Music World, and the call quality and features are amazing. After 6 months, we’ve already recouped our investment vs. paying for monthly phone service. Works fine with our all-in-one printer/fax as well. Highly recommend it.

I am coming up on 2 years with my OOMA…Very pleased. I knew it was gamble spending $400.00
but I ditched my landline at $40.00 per month…looks like I made the right decision. I felft that Ashton Kutcher might also kick in some $$$ to keep it afloat for at least a year or two.

When the do go out of business I just hope we can get our phone numbers ported…(I am a realist…they will die eventually).

After having had Vonage (terrible), SunRocket (disappeared overnight), Vonage again (still terrible), AT&T CallVantage (not bad, gone now), and then Ooma, I have to say – Ooma blew me away. I wasn’t expecting much from Ooma, but the call quality is far better than any other VoIP provider I’ve used – easily on par with wirelines. Prior to Ooma, I thought that inside wiring for my house might be bad, but it turns out it was just the service. The service is so good, I made the decision to port my number after just 2 days with Ooma.

If you are on the fence – get Ooma. You absolutely will not be disappointed.
