Ooma is new type of Voip Service significantly different from the other voip providers like Vonage, Lingo or Packet8. For lack of any better terms, lets call its Voip 2.0. The main difference for the consumer who doesn’t want to dabble in the technology behind is, it’s not a service that you pay for monthly or yearly. Rather what you buy is a Ooma hub and pay for teh device only once. Once set up the hub will let you make unlimited calls in the US for free .

That sounds too good to be true. So where is the catch….

There is no catch actually, except for the fact that the cost of the device is a bit high, at $349 after mail in rebate. But thta’s not why the calls are free. Ooma uses peer-to-peer Internet system popularized by file-sharing sites. So your device after connected to the internet is like a node (or a computer) in the Ooma network and your box can also carry another Ooma user’s call through it. But don’t worry, that is totally transparent to you and you will not hear, know or notice other calls being carried through your device. This is called peer-to-peer networking and is the main resaon why Ooma calls are and will be free.

That’s not all. The Ooma hub can be used with your regular phone line. If you want to keep a very basic land line for emergencies or back up, Ooma can work with it too. You keep a regular land line with a very basic service. And if or when Ooma service fails , the device will seamlessly switch to your regular line.
So where do you get the phone# from

If you choose to keep your land line and use Ooma with it, then your land line number provided by your carrier is your phone number. If you want to use Ooma as your primary carrier, then Ooma will provide with a phone number for free.
Fro the consumer point of view, you pay once for the device and then make unlimited calls in the Us and there is no monthly, yearly bills to pay.

There must be a risk somewhere, right! Yes, there is. You are paying around $350 hoping never to pay for any US calls again. But that is contingent upon the existence Ooma as a company. This is a bitter truth for stand alone voip companies. Many previous Sunrocket users have lived through it. So that’s your risk. You will need at least one and half year of service to recoup your initial cost. After that its all free for you. You will be envy of all in your neighboourhood as some one who makes free long distance calls.
