So in searching around for additional phone options, I came across a link to
www.ooma.com. This site, needless to say, was a whole lot more professional than the Magic Jack site but can we truly judge a book by it's cover. What are the differences between ooma and Magic Jack. Well, ooma is a voip like Vonage is. The big difference is the pricing model. The ooma telo unit is $200 but on Amazon it included a $50 rebate card so really it only cost $150 including shipping. That is it for costs, just the device and once you register it online, you get a free phone number in your area code. For an additional $39.95 you can port your old number over. There is a premier service where you pay $13.95 and you get an instant second line, email of your voicemails, etc.
Pros- No monthly fees!
- Computer doesn't have to be on
- Unit connects between modem and router or just the modem if you dont have a router.
- Call quality is very good
- Ability to port old number in most cases to the ooma service
- Comes with free voicemail and other features
Cons
- Unit is pricey
- Unit can't be used for anything else if they go out of business
- No monthly fees doesn't give you the warm fuzzies about the viability of this company in the future
