Yes, you can plug a VoIP phone into your router, but you will need to have a VoIP adapter in order to do so. The VoIP adapter will convert the analog signal from your phone into a digital signal that can be sent over the internet.
Yes, you can set up your own VoIP. You will need to have a broadband Internet connection and a router. You will also need to purchase a VoIP adapter or phone.
Yes, you can use your regular phone with VoIP. You will need to have a VoIP adapter, which will connect your regular phone to your VoIP service.
Yes, you can. VoIP uses your internet connection to make and receive calls, so as long as you have an internet connection, you can use VoIP instead of a landline.

This has been in use by my mother-in-law for more than a year. comparing an about $40 Verizon bill to a roughly $13 BasicTalk bill. I enjoy how affordable the box is. You may purchase it with the first month included for $5 and test it out (although they will bill you for taxes). After that, the cost in my area is only 9.99 per month plus taxes, or roughly $13.Recently, I've been considering doing the same, but I was wary because I have an alarm system. Regarding whether or not folks could get their alarms to function with this, I had heard conflicting reports. I wasn't able. No matter what I did, my GE Concord alarm system didn't like this guy (CID transmit format). There aren't many adjustments you can make to this guy; either it works for you or it doesn't.I decided to give Ooma a try after looking around and seeing numerous discussion groups where users had successfully used the "Alarm Mode" in the control panel to make their alarms work with the service. My GE Concord system functions flawlessly when Ooma's "Alarm Mode" is activated but not at all when it is deactivated. Everything appears to be related to how different VOIP providers recreate DTMF codes on the other end and how alarm systems employ DTMF codes to relay information to the central station. So, to summarize, I believe Ooma will make me happy. Only time will tell. For your information, putting on "Alarm Mode" on Ooma prevents voicemail access from the phone itself as well as call waiting (which I didn't want anyhow). The Ooma base station, website, or iPhone app must be used. Although it kind of smells, I believe I can get by with it.Therefore, BasicTalk is probably not the best option for you if you have an alarm system (that needs a phone line). If you don't require this feature, it will probably still function properly for you. For more than a year, my mother-in-law has used it without any problems. One wonderful aspect of BasicTalk is the free number porting option; this service costs $40 with Ooma.Only so you know, when I contacted to discontinue BasicTalk (they have a phone number just for canceling! They were quite difficult with me about canceling, but I persisted, and they lost. I'm hoping I won't experience any strange BasicTalk costs.

My Ooma service has been in operation for a few weeks now. I am SO HAPPY with this gadget. This is why:1. The only expense I have each month is the $3 in taxes I must pay to use the 911 emergency services. That is not a problem for me!2. The call is of outstanding quality.3. You receive free voicemail, caller ID, and call waiting.4. The gadget itself has a sleek appearance.5. You can select from a list of local phone numbers that are available (I think you can even use your current number instead, if you prefer).6. Arrived in safe packaging with clear directions.7. The top of the device is illuminated, and an electric blue light shines to indicate whether your service is active. When you have voicemail, the tiny "play" button becomes orange so you can quickly determine whether you have any new messages.I've tried a number of other VoIP services, such as Vonage (which is good but only costs $10–$25 per month, whereas Ooma is ONLY $3), and a couple other apps on my iPad mini that allow me to place and receive calls while I'm online (Talkatone, Google Voice, Voxofon, and WeTalk). Ooma is the most practical option for me because it is compatible with any standard corded or cordless home phone. My Ooma makes me so happy!

I've been using Ooma for my home office line for a while, so I finally made the decision to convert to Ooma for our home landline. I can give the Linx device a phone number so that my home office line will only ring on the phone to which it is connected, rather than all the other phones in the house. The Ooma Telo can still be connected to my home's primary phone and will only ring there. Great answer. I may purchase a second one for the fax machine.It was almost too simple to set up. Simply plug it in close to your Telo and press and hold the Page key—which resembles an antenna—on the Telo for three seconds. It states something along the lines of "it's ready for device connection." One light becomes blue after a short while, and the other begins to flash blue and orange. DO NOT touch it until it is solid blue because it is downloading firmware. Be patient; it will return when it resets, so there won't be any lights for a brief period of time. Unplug it and place it where you want it once both lights are solid blue. The Linx is set up upstairs at the opposite end of the house from where my Telo is located on the first floor. It works perfectly now that I've plugged it in!

My Ooma was out of reach and essentially out of sight after I had to move my networking (router, NAS, UPS, and Wifi Extender over electric) to a high shelf in the garage. When I enter and exit the garage, I prefer to see the status light and system voicemail light. That was easily remedied by this bracket. neatly tucks away beneath the shelf and places my lights in full view. Excellent Ooma Telo2 product and concept.The fit of the item is the only minor issue I can identify. In order to get it to sit, I had to give it a few solid corner smacks because it was so tight. I would prefer a little more back space for better airflow, but otherwise, this is a 5 star product. It's just a touch too tight and stiff for my comfort. advisable for a tidy vertical Telo2 installation!

I decided to give Ooma a try after switching from my conventional landline to Cox telephone and then experimenting with a special cellphone for "home/business" conversations.(The cost of a regular landline through the telephone company was prohibitive; Cox was less expensive but still forced me to rent their modem in addition to using my own; and the cellular option was utterly inadequate to the point of being worthless.)Having saying that, I am really pleased with the Ooma service quality. After fumbling with a little smartphone to reach my voicemail, having a handset is a relief. This is so straightforward and clear, and I appreciate that I can access and listen to my voicemail on my computer using my email software if I want to.I have my Ooma base unit linked into my UPS so that if there is a power outage, I will still have phone service (it won't last for an extended outage, but for the short term it'll help). I have it connected to my router through an unmanaged switch, and it works perfectly.It's incredible how much money I wasted on phone service when this tiny device can provide all I need for about $4. Great purchase!

Although the call quality isn't always static-free, I can't say I love it. However, I do more than enjoy it. Accept the hardware hit up front (which might seem a bit pricy), but after 3–4 months, you would break even as you would only be paying taxes when using Ooma. Your smartphone can access your landline from anywhere with wifi or a data plan when you pair it with the Ooma app. Your friends and relatives can call you without using a long distance plan if you combine this with a free virtual number! For the first three months, you receive all the toys for free; after that, it automatically renews at the $10.00/month rate. But once you try out these features, you'll want to sign up, just as I did!Although installing WiFi could appear a little difficult, the steps are simple to understand and carry out. On my first try, installing over a wireless connection went off without a hitch. Installing over WiFi rather than a cable connection is the trick.Ooma occasionally gives a discount or a friend referral coupon to save $40–$50 off the MSRP. If the timing is good, it's an added benefit, but if you're spending $40–$50 a month for your landline, you'll get your money back in the first month (no brainer). In roughly three months, the equipment's whole cost is recovered. You should expect to save $35–$45 per month after that. Simply gravy! ....Another important point to make is that the line is digital because its service depends on the internet. It follows that you cannot connect an analog phone to it. This might not be for all of you longing for the past.Here are the features of the Basic and Premier Plans ($9.99/mo), for all you detail-oriented people.
Yes, you can do VoIP for free. There are many VoIP providers that offer free plans, such as Vonage, Skype, and Google Voice. However, these free plans typically have limited features and minutes. If you need more minutes or advanced features, you will likely need to upgrade to a paid plan.
Yes, you can use VoIP without a landline. VoIP uses your broadband connection to make and receive calls, so you don't need a traditional phone line. However, you will need a VoIP adapter to connect your phone to your broadband router.
If you want to use VoIP, you don't need a special router. Any good quality router will work. However, you may want to consider a router that is designed for VoIP and has special features to improve VoIP quality, such as Quality of Service (QoS).
Routers have the ability to process and pass VoIP traffic, but they do not have VoIP functionality themselves. In order to use VoIP, you will need to install a VoIP adapter or gateway on your router.
Yes, VoIP phones need a provider in order to function. Providers offer VoIP services that connect your phone to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). This allows you to make and receive calls using your VoIP phone.
Yes, you can get a phone number with VoIP. This is a great way to have a second line for your business or to keep your personal and work life separate. Plus, VoIP offers great features like call forwarding and voicemail.
