VOIP Skype system replacment....?

For those of you who may find building your own VOIP/Skype system a bit overwhelming.... I may have just the thing for you.

Ooma! is a nice little VOIP box that the company claims has a one time fee and your set for life. (unless your doing international calling)



I have not had a chance myself to review the box, but would jump at the chance if it came up.

There have been a lot of rave reviews on line, and heck; even Cali Lewis gave it a good review!

From what I can tell the international prices are just as good as Skypes. For me the price of calling family in Russia is the same as Skype.

As much as I would love to jump on the Ooma bandwagon, I just cant justify the cost at the moment. It would take me about five to six years to make my money back using Ooma. Thats not saying Ooma is bad, its just I pay about "$110 a year" for Skype with international calling, and a backup service if Skype should fail. To top that I would loose all my cool siptosis/Skype features.

If anyone out there is using Ooma, please drop me a line and let me know what you think. Maybe one day I will jump on the Ooma bandwagon.
