View allPorting my phone number from Rogers over to Ooma was a fast and easy process. If there is value to your contacts in keeping your old phone number (their was for me), the $39 cost is worth the one time investment.
Ooma's $3.98 monthly total incudes the 911 $1.99 service fee and a further Regulatory Compliance $1.99. That's it as band width (as little as it may be) flows through your internet service.
My port will take place on Monday.
- Buy a VOIP adapter device on your own then get what they call Voip/Sip key from them for 50.00
Or :
- Pay them 4.95 monthly
You have to pay somehow anyway if you want a voip solution to really replace your actual analog phone system.
I know I've missed a call from Rogers yesterday as I am @ work for 12 hours. I am not about to return their call after a 14 hour day (incl. commute).
I have zero intention of staying with Rogers, as I am certain they cannot match the Ooma price...I currently pay more in system access fees & HST than the whole monthly cost of Ooma service.
Had I known that the switch from Rogers to Ooma would be so simple, I would have made the change a long time ago. What I fail to see is how Rogers can continue to keep customers for a $45 service that isn't any different than $4 service.
The OBi ATAs are currently the most popular ATAs on the market. Take a look at http://www.obihai.com/matrix and pick whichever one you think has the features you need.
As far as I am aware, all Ooma devices contain a QoS router. An Ooma connected directly to a modem with a home network behind it will perform better than any ATA connected behind a router with no QoS, that is serving a busy home network. That is one explanation for the user's opinion.
There's nothing stopping anyone from anyone using FPL in conjunction with Voip.ms or with most other voip sip services. I've used FPL for over 3 years; it's more than paid off.
You can do that with most VoIP sip services, including FPL: you can plug in a regular phone and port your existing phone number.
At least in my specific case, my ISP seems to have relatively poor routing (130ms ping time) to FPL's servers.
I fail to see why people continue to post paid VOIP providers when FreePhoneLine.ca gives it away for free; and with every calling feature, voicemail, long distance, etc.. Honestly, am I missing something?

your rogers modem should be plugged into a box which also plugs into your alarm system. i unplugged the telephone cable goign from the rogers phone modem going into that box and replaced it with the cable from ooma. there is also a setting that you have to change in your my ooma profile to change to alarm modem. under preferences > phone numbers. click on telo and change to alarm mode. you should no longer here the musical sound when you pick up the phone.
who is your phone provider right now?
if the connection drops the alarm beeps a trouble code but the alarm doesn't go off. it hasn't dropped since i went to ooma but i'm assuming the alarm company might call if its off for a long time.
If your internet connection drops, will the alarm go off?
Also for the question about porting. They said 4 weeks as well for me but was done within 2 weeks.
I'm with videotron and has my landline just for my alarm, we already have 2 cell at home and personally my landline is useless ( 20$+ tax ) just because I need to use my alarm.
Regardless of Rogers termination fee, if any, the savings are worth it.
But I just started the port process of my landline from Rogers to Ooma. I doubt I'll keep the 2nd number unless its free.
So if Ooma doesn't offer a number for your city, then people within your city calling the number you get from Ooma will be charged long distance?
Anyone here want to purchase an HD2 headset from me. Just PM me. Thanks.
Even if you can't talk, your address will still be provided to the local dispatcher. Remember that it's your responsibility to keep your address current with your VoIP service provider if you move.
For what it's worth, when someone once broke into our house, my wife called 911 and was placed on hold for about five minutes. This was with POTS, so even a landline isn't a guarantee of fast access to 911.

How does 911 work with Ooma?
When you register your Ooma device, you must provide a valid address within the country of purchase (either the U.S. or Canada). This address is filed as your service address. If you dial 911, your service address is forwarded to emergency response personnel so that they can locate you. It is very important to keep your service address up to date so that emergency personnel can be dispatched to the right location in the event of an emergency.
Note: If your physical location cannot be determined by your service address on file, you will be routed to a national call center to confirm your location so that your call can be forwarded to the appropriate local authority.
Important: Ooma cannot provide 911 service without both power and a working broadband Internet connection. For more information, please click here (or here for Canadian customers).
