Just Ported A Number To Ooma

My brother, who lives next door, wanted to ditch his Ziply Fiber copper phone line to save money. We share my Starlink internet. It only took three days to port his old number to Ooma. Everything went smoothly. I've had Ooma for a few years. They both work great over Starlink. Ooma saves us each $50 a month.

Ooma texting denied

Got turned down for texting through ooma office. A bunch of jargon reasons as to why, mainly my privacy policy, which in fact is up to par. I am a small business that uses texting to communicate with customers. I do not do marketing campaigns or anything of that sort. I am rethinking my move to Ooma and going somewhere else.

Not worrying about QoS setting

If my Ooma voice quality seems adequate for me, is it best to not worry about configuring QoS settings in Ooma device settings?

There's good Ooma documentation that describes the background on QoS. My Ooma speed test (by Ookla) shows 2ms jitter, and adequate down/upload speeds. I see there's some discussion of QoS in this subreddit, but not a whole lot.

I realize that much depends on how other devices are using the shared internet connection but so far, I haven't encountered any problems with voice quality. I'm just wondering what will happen if there's contention or high load. I use an Ethernet cable between the Telo and the ISP modem.

The cable modem/router does not provide for any QoS settings, and it's not possible for me to put the Telo between the cable modem and the router, since it is a combo device.

Ooma MyPhone Kids

Has anyone had the Ooma MyPhone for kids for a decent amount of time and have a genuine review of it? A friend of mine told me about tin can and I was looking into it, but am not too happy with the reviews. I came across Ooma in my search and would like to see some honest reviews on the longevity of it and if it's a decent investment for kids.

Can I add my own home phone devices to ooma service?

I am considering switching to opma phone service and cutting my home Verizon FiOS. I currently have five cordless phones in the house that are connected through Wi-Fi and one base device, a Panasonic system. If switching over, will I be able to use these phones or will I be limited to using ooma phones only?

Ooma Core STILL Working in 2026

Just a quick shout-out for the quality craftsmanship that went into these original Core units. I can't believe I can still make and receive calls nearly 20 years later...and have not paid a single cent, just like it said on the box.

I made some good buying choices back then. My Kenmore refrigerator is still working like new after 23 years.
