Ooma – the $250 VoIP box that lets you make free calls in the US (and that lets you call the US for free from international locales, an undocumented perk to be sure) – is getting more and more popular thanks to the downturn.
With a new Chief Marketing Officer, Rich Buchanan, and a new price the system is now selling like cakes that are hot. The boxes are now sold at 1,300 stores and a new version is coming this year so we can expect great things from this little company. Great things!
Even the analysts like it!
Ross Rubin, an analyst with the NPD Group, said Ooma’s original price was prohibitive. But with the reduced price, the company has a chance to sell more boxes and make good on its larger service strategy, he said.
“Clearly the company is leading with the cost-savings argument, but if it can build up a strong enough installed base, they have an opportunity to turn it into more of a services platform,” Rubin said.
If you need cheap/free phone connectivity for mom and dad, take a look. I just started using it and I was skeptical at first but it’s working quite well.
Where can I get the ooma phone/hub in the picture above?
It’s _supposed_ to go on sale this summer sometime, I believe. I’ll be following Ooma in the months to come…I’ll more than likely be ditching my land line in favor of this, or something like it.
yep. this summer. I saw them a month ago but they’re not ready yet.

I’m an Ooma customer for about 6 mos or so, love it, perfectly fine voice quality. For me it was “Ronco-easy” set it and forget it.
I’m an Ooma customer for about 2 mos
Works perfectly fine voice quality better than Vontage which I had to cancel, because it dropped calls all the time.
Ooma Works fine with my wireless Internet Service even tho it is not Recommend.
No need for Scout, Just plug Your Cordless base unit in, Now I Have 5 Cordless remotes in the house that Work Fine.
Hi Bill,
I have an ooma box that I’ve been very happy with for about 2 months now. I’d be interested in hearing how you connected it wirelessly.
Thanks!
Denny.
I just saw your Reply.
My internet service is surewest.net
I have a Flat square antenna on my roof that Goes Somewhere ? and connects to the Internet via a radio connection.
It Works Fine for internet and works 98% of the time with OOMA.
