Summary: did not buy the roduct
Comment: this does not work without the HUB which is like 200$ so this instrument is worth less without the 200$ hub.

Summary: I love the ooma!
Comment: I was skeptical. But this VOIP device simplifies my life. (I had Vonage before...) Setting it up was easy and it works like a charm! Not having to pay a dime more for phone service each month is the clincher for me. The only complaint I would have is that the Caller ID doesn't show the caller's 1 before their number so you can't just hit "call back" with my phone set but must key in the access 1 and then the caller's number. But this is no biggie at all. I hope Ooma stays in business and keeps their free phone service with all its bells and whistles (free as in free beer)!

Summary: ooma Scout - Great Way to Extend Your Ooma
Comment: So there are a few ways to use the ooma system throughout your house. The first is to have a cordless phone with a good range connected to your ooma Hub. The second way is to use an ooma Scout device in your bedrooms or another location. And you can combine both methods to meet a variety of needs.

With the new switching to a tiered pricing model, the uses for the scout seem to be expanding. If you sign up for the premium service you can add additional phone numbers to your ooma account and have the scout be used for a seperate "virtual" line. That's a cool feature for families or apartment sharers. Or, even a business that operates multiple storefronts could take advantage of seperate lines.

Either way, using the scout will let you pick up and make ooma calls from the phone hooked up to your scout. And the ability to make calls from both your main hub and the scout at the SAME TIME make this very useful.

The only challenge with the scout is that you have to use your home phone wiring to connect it. It's probably not a problem for most people, but those with older wiring or shared wiring may be limited by this. Still, the instructions ooma provides does make it easy to install as long as you have home phone wiring that is in good condition.

The price for the scout is well worth it. For only $60 you can extend your system to multiple floors or jacks as long as they share the same wiring. That's a great feature.

Alternatively, if you only want to hook up a cordless phone to your ooma hub, newer DECT systems like the GE 28821FE2 Dect 6.0 Digital Cordless Phone and Digital Answering System offer wider range that may be enough for a single family home.

You may have to test your options, but for many people the scout will be an almost necessary add-on to their ooma system.

Enjoy.

Summary: Voice over internet without a monthly fee- super easy
Comment: every time I see a commercial for these voice over the internet services that charge you a monthly fee, I think why not get this Ooma box? it is the same thing but it your DSL line is the only charge you will have. I spent 250 dollars for the box and "scout" the only problems I have had have been with the Phone company and my internet service. They don't know what I am talking about when we are troubleshooting their problems. I had the Ooma set up and working in less than an hour. I suggest you don't stack the DSL box under the Ooma server box because of the heat.
