I bought the original Ooma gray box that came out in 2009 (back when there were zero fees). It paid about $119 and it's still working. There were issues with the service first year, but it has been smooth sailing since then. Just doing some research since I"m ordering one for my mom today for Mother's Day. It was much simpler when there was only one model to choose from.
Excellent video. Made my Telo Air setup easy and smooth. Great job! Thanks.
Thanks for the video. I have a question. If I setup this device with my current home internet and have it working for a while then I change internet providers, I'm assuming all I need to do is connect to the new router and I should be good to go, correct? Thanks
Great video, I have one ordered just like yours I’m curious as to what is the phone line for is it for ?these phones ? or do I plug the phone line into my wall ? Or for a different brand of telephone? Thank you
You just need to plug the ethernet into the device. The phone handset will connect wirelessly.
so you can have the phones anywhere in the home..one phone doesn';t have to be connected direct to ooma device
I would like to know if how do you connect the ooma device to a 2.4 GHZ instead of 5GhZ ? Because they recommend that it works better into a 2.4 GHz
I connected to a 2.4 ghz and it works fine
Great video. I have the 1st Ooma and want to get the air 2 one. If I get the one with the two handsets, that doesn’t impact connecting my current phone directly to the box right? I just want to make sure all my phones would still work.
It should run fine. I got the two handsets and didn't impact my other phones in the house.
This guy is learning as he goes. He didn't even notice the giant red sticker saying not to connect the power before trying to activate the device, which was why he got the connection problem on the first attempt, he literally was not following the directions. I wouldn't go by his information but no you don't have to use the ooma phones.
If you already have phones in the house you want to use I would get this through Amazon or something instead. You can use this with for example, VTech phones if you already have some or whatever phones you currently have. You can get the device you need cheaper by itself through Amazon without any unnecessary extra phones. You don't have to buy phones with this device. They just package phones with it and there's different ways to buy it.
I don't know about using ooma phones with it AND existing phones. I think with that case you will have to pick one phone type or the other, not mix and match. If you already have a phone system you're currently using all you need is the device though which you can get for about 80 bucks on Amazon. Just connect the primary phone of your current setup to it and forget the Ooma phones entirely, also if you don't plan on using the Ooma phones and make sure you don't waste money buying phones you aren't using and by the device only by itself with no phones included. You already have phones so keep using those.
@@TorrentFiend10 Thank you, Thank you and thank you! I asked the on line chat and that said it shouldn't be a problem. But something is certainly a problem. I has one phone working from the old wired set that was meant for Ooma system as well, and now I can't even get that working. I didn't see a red sticker either, but I will unplug everything except internet and router and see if I can register it.
I just purchased an Ooma Air 2, when I push the speaker volume up or down I don't I get any response, (no sound) any ideas? Thanks
How would this work with my home alarm which is connected to my current landline through a telco jack? I need that so that the alarm central can be called if the alarm goes off.
With the system there are two phone jacks. One could go to the phone and the other could go to fax or alarm.
Great Review, very helpful...
Thank you!
Thank you.
Do you have to buy the Ooma phones for setup? Do you know if they charge extra for more phones if needed?
You don't have to get the ooma phones no...... I think they just sell those for people who don't have any phones to start with. You can plug any regular phone into this and it will work. I have a VTech setup of five phones around the house and it works great with ooma. Just plug in the primary phone from your current setup to the Uma and then it should ring the rest of the phones around your home the way it normally works.
Honestly you might have a harder time finding this in store without the phones though. The device itself is $80 on Amazon which is all you need if you already have phones you are currently using and don't want to replace them. For example Costco has this but they sell it with phones for like a hundred or 120 bucks instead of $80 for just the device itself.
If you don't need the phones I would buy it from Amazon or something and save a few bucks. It's not necessary to use ooma phones for basic service or common features like caller ID. Some of the additional features for higher cost plans the ooma sets might be better but if you just want the cheapest basic service possible your current phones will work fine.
You don't have to to do the setup. Any landline phones will work. but if you do need one, they do sell them
my wifi was wiped and I need to wirelessly put in the new ssid and pwd, that's the one thing this video doesn't show - how to connect to the device with bluetooth from the setup app after it's activated
Go to the app store and download Ooma Setup App. Unplug your ooma device and plug it back in, go to your app and click on configure Telo Air device. In there you should be able to type in your wifi and password to connect to your internet. Also be sure to turn on your bluetooth on your phone.
Ooma system not setting the right time for Daylight Savings Time. This bug has been in the system since 2010?
Have you address the problem with Ooma?
Can I use my existing home phone number with this? I currently have att home phone service which is connected to my att home internet.
Yes, you would have to transfer your current Number to Ooma. Very easy to do.
Hi! Do you absolutely need to have a handset? Like, can I just buy the Ooma Telo Air and just use it with my cellphone? Thanks!
You don’t need handset. Just plug to your home phone or fax machine.
So do I choose a phone number in the app? What part in the process do I add a new phone number? (I don't want to use our old one). Thanks!
Set up as a new number.
How do u port over number and you never showed us how it works after it downloaded
When you activate your account they will give you a temporary number. i ported the number over through their website. It took a couple days.
I ordered a Ooma Telo. The 2 phones were not included in the package so I purchased two Vtech phones that were supposed to be compatible with the Ooma. I successfully set up the Ooma, but the vtech phones (which are blue tooth) don't work. Shall I return them (Amazon) and purchase the phones that go with the Ooma base? Everyone said they are compatible with any wireless phone. Is it possible that I need a phone adapter or should I have purchased the Ooma that comes with the two phone? Any help is appreciated. Thanks for your video.
Right now, Costco has a deal with Ooma telo with 3 wireless phones. Also, Bestbuy has Ooma telo with 2 wirless phones.
Can you use both the phone jack on the Ooma device and the Ooma phones?
Yes
So does this have to be hardwired to your modem/router that is providing internet service for you?
No, it could be connected to wifi or ethernet to your router. I have T mobile home wifi and it works well.
I would like to know if how do you connect the ooma device to a 2.4 GHZ instead of 5GhZ ? Because they recommend that it works better into a 2.4 GHz
If I’m for the fist time how do I use my current phone number to this device and how has it been working for you since you installed it thanks for your help
You could use your current phone number or a new number.
I am sitting on tech support on Ooma Telo because the ethernet cable doesn't fit into the back of my router/modem from Comcast. What do i do now??
Just connect to your router wirelessly.
Freedomfighter2020: Did you get your OOMA system up and running? I prefer to hardwire ethernet cable into my router/modem vs wireless.
@@MKW369 I did get it up and running and I love it!
How can you set up fax without buying the too expensive Linx?
Yes you can.
Do you have to pay a fee to port your phone number from another carrier?
Yes, now they charge 39.99 but it could be waive if you subscribe to their primier service
Yeah why didn't you connect it to router??
how many handsets can be connected and will the phone work upstairs
Mine paired to 3 and it works upstairs
Am I able to keep my current landline number or do I need a new one?
You can keep your current number
Do you need high-speed internet to work
you will need a high-speed Internet connection equivalent to at least a typical DSL connection with 384 kbps upstream and downstream
How do I keep my land line phone number
Will this work with an old 60s princess phone?
If your phone has a phone jack, then it should work
Does the base re charge the batteries ?
Yes
Thus it comes with it own number?
You could either use your old landline phone number or get a new one.
Please can you share How can I set it up without the app?
Activate with calling Ooma and giving them the serial # of your device
What's the number now do you know what number to call does it tell you in app or something
Everything is on the app. Setup and everything
Phone show big Update software update failed now what to do now
I think you should restart the Ooma unit and try updating the system through ethernet cable.
Why is setup not possible via Ethernet cable?
Not sure, but i had setup through ethernet before with my old Ooma.
You can use ethernet. Its the newest version that offers Wi-Fi & Bluetooth as well.
I'm guessing because you set it up through the app before connecting to your internet. Once it connects to the internet it can then connect to their servers to get updates the device needs and sync up with the account that has already been set up using the QR code or code that you already activated...... And simple terms it's probably more like creating a free account and then connecting the device to use that account. You have to activate the thing before it can be used, just like you have to first create an account before you can use that account.... This is probably why you just do it through the app on your phone first before plugging it in. Just to create it and get it established, then it has something to provide service to once it's activated on their system.
Can you send and receive fax ?
Yes
@AwesomeTuBees channel Will it show how many voice messages?
Can you create a custom greeting???
Yes
How about you can't use an APP to set up !
You would have to call Ooma to activate over the phone
@@AwesomeTuBees Yeah did that , what a joke, poor instruction, poorly trained instructors, then when supposedly all set up. DID NOT WORK, called again oh! wait for next available ! Well I am going old ! Returning Device WITH PREJUDICE. BUYER BEWARE. Oh ! they said they were going to send label for return. Waiting 36 hours now . Nothing but KAOS and LIES.
Does OOMA provide a phone number?
Yes, you could either use your old phone number or get a new one.
This one Canada
Hi 👋
Can you have two accounts?
1 account for each device but you could get additional phone numbers for that 1 account.
Who do you pay if you don't have to pay ooma?
The phone company and government taxes
@@AwesomeTuBees and how much is that??
@@AwesomeTuBees who sends you the bill though? Does it come from ooma or does it come from a random phone company?
@@ahub87 good question that was never answered.
$ 7.00 Per Month
I had to use trisodium phosphate to scrub all that disgusting rubbery stuff off. Hair dust and all kinds of BS stuck to it
I had the same problem with my old system.
Terrible phone.
Do you get a home phone number?
Yes, or you could transfer your current home phone number over.
