Get phone service for $4 per month with unlimited calling in the US with a $240 Ooma box (look for reviews on Amazon).

Do you know how Ooma compares to MagicJack?
I know people from abroad who need to call to USA.[/quote]
Ooma is a very interesting product and I’ve had some success and failure in the past with the product. I would actually say that it’s not worth the money unless you plan on paying for top speed with you Inet provider.
I ran it on some standard 10mbps download speeds and it did horrible. I called both the internet provider and Ooma only to tell me that it’s the other person’s fault.
Just pay the extra $10/month and get a higher cell plan in terms of phone! I was pretty bummed on Ooma, especially after paying $200. Also, you’ll see that Ooma is actually not unlimited and that they do have limits (I think something like 4,000 minutes per month).
The best way to get the best deal on TV is threaten your service provider that you are switching or that you can’t afford it. They will set you up nicely. I have Uverse 300 and internet for $99/month. That’s a deal if you ask me.
Always remember that threatening to disconnect works wonders even if you don’t plan on doing so!! It’s like magic.
[quote=ocrenter]so far we are very happy with our Ooma.
we do pay $10/month for caller ID.
the call quality is excellent, we love the e-mailed VM.[/quote]
OCR, curious to know what ISP you have? We had Time Warner initially and it worked out well with Ooma then got Uverse and the quality seemed to pretty bad. Glad to hear it’s working out for you.
I get caller ID for free, so not sure why you pay $10/month for that. Do you have the Ooma Premier?
