Ooma Phone System

by admin on Oct.10, 2010, under Ooma Phone System

As I promised this is a follow up to the review of the magicJack. A better option than the magicJack is the Ooma phone system. It is a little pricier than the magicJack, but it is well worth it. The main device cost about $199.00 and it can handle up to five handsets. The handsets are about $49.00 each. After you spend the money for the system you are finished. There is no more cost to having the Ooma system, which is even better than the magicJack, because with the magicJack you have to renew it every year unless you purchase multiple years of service at once, but it still in reality means you have a yearly expense. With the Ooma system you only have a onetime expense for the system and that is all. There are no renewal expenses at all.  The great thing about the Ooma system is that it hooks directly up to the modem instead of hooking up to your computer. The internet signal goes from the modem directly to the Ooma system then to your computer, which makes it have a lot better connection. There are also quite a few options and services that you can have with the Ooma system that I am sure you will like. I purchased the Ooma system about six months ago and I have not had any problems with it at all, and I use it a lot. I use it for business and personal use. If I do experience any problems I will re-update this post a.s.a.p.

magicJack

If you are considering purchasing the magicJack I would think again. I purchased two of them and had the same experience with both of them. I also spoke to number of people who also had the same results I had with mine. The problems that I had with mine are the clarity of the calls. When I first started to use the magicJack it worked great, but that did not last long. It only took about a week and then you could not make a call and expect to be able to have a conversation. It was like a cell phone with a bad connection. You could only make out every other word, or if you could hear the other person clearly then they would not be able to hear you clearly. I really wish that the magicJack would work well because I do love the concept. I believe the problem is that the connection comes from the modem to the computer then to the magicJack, so by the time your connection reaches the magicJack it has slowed down and had any and all connection problems affect your call. There are other products out there similar to the magicJack but the connection goes from the modem to the device then to your computer. I will follow up with a review of those products soon.
