Before Throwing Out Your Home Phone For An Ooma Telo, Check Out This !
I saw a lot of positive ooma voip reports for the ooma voip, but I never got around to trying it?I was nervous about the early days of VOIP dependability and stuck to my tried and true, but expensive, landline.
I finally decided it was time to try the ooma phone when it came out ? I’m a home-based worker and anything that will cut my costs is worth a try!
After next-day delivery from Amazon, I hooked it up ? very easy. It comes with every cord imaginable which was a nice change from other similar types of purchases.
The only thing that needed doing was downloading all the updates once it was online. Depending on the bandwidth, could take up to half an hour.
The ooma phone looks good – built-in speakers, sleek profile, and brightness control, make it a attractive device.
Just visit the Ooma internet site and login to keep the old landline number. It took about three weeks (but the site says it could take up to four). Cool thing was, I could start using the ooma telo (through the base unit) AND still use my landline during the changeover time. No disruption of service.
Can’t say enough good things. The sound is crystal clear, even with an international calling. Bottom line, it was seamless and life seems no different than before, except cheaper!

- If you want to port over your existing number, there is a one-time $39 charge. Or, get a new number from Ooma which is included

Ease

The savings in canceling my old-style phone service covered the cost of the Ooma in about three months.

Ethernet RJ45 Splitter Cable Sharing Kit For Networking Computer and VoIP ATA
This network cable sharing kit includes two RJ45 splitters and three 1-foot Cat5e patch cables. it is used for connecting two network devices (PC, IP telephone/VoIP ATA) to an Ethernet switch by a single cable run (e.g. Cat5e), a great way to save your cabling cost and labor! This RJ45 splitter cable sharing kit also provides a great “green” approach for networking your PCs and IP phones because they are passive devices which simply do not consume any power! Again, this product is for cable sharing, it is NOT for splitting one network port into two network ports. If what you need is to “split” one network port into two, you need to use a router or Ethernet switch/hub.
