Easy Setup
Set up and activation is a breeze. It takes less than 15 minutes. And since Ooma uses your regular home phone, you won’t even notice a difference from your old landline.
Free U.S. Calling
Call anyone anywhere in the U.S. After purchase of the Ooma Telo (MSRP $149.99), pay only applicable taxes and fees.
Free New Phone Number
You can transfer your current number for a one-time charge (about $40), or get a new number in any area code for free.
Advanced voice compression
Ooma uses an advanced voice compression algorithm that reduces bandwidth consumption by 60% over standard VoIP technology. This leaves you with more bandwidth for all your other online activities.
Wire-speed QoS
Although Ooma uses a mere fraction of the bandwidth of standard VoIP technology, the bandwidth it does use must be an absolute priority. Ooma prioritizes voice packets without slowing down the rest of your network so you can enjoy crystal-clear calls even while uploading video clips.
Encrypted calls
Ooma takes your privacy seriously. We use the same encryption technology governments use to protect classified data (which makes Ooma even safer than your old landline).
Adaptive Redundancy
Packet loss causes phone calls to sound stuttered or garbled with standard VoIP technology. Our sophisticated algorithms detect packet loss on your Internet connection before you even hear it and automatically deploy redundant packets to boost the clarity of your phone call.
HD Voice
Ooma HD Voice technology doubles the fidelity of your phone calls by capturing twice the speech information of a standard voice call (yes, that includes your landline.) When you and the other caller use an Ooma handset, or any HD compatible phone, your voice will sound more natural than ever.
