How it works

Q. Why do i need the internet to make Ooma work? Can I only call other Ooma subscriber with my Ooma phone?
A. Ooma relies on local telephone systems as well as the internet to work. So, you do need the internet to make the Ooma device work. However, you can make calls to anyone in the United States - cell phones, landlines, Ooma phones etc. There is no restriction and it is free.

Q. If i buy Ooma without buying my own landline number, will Ooma still work? How will I get a landline number then?
A. Yes, you don't need to buy a landline connection before buying Ooma. You only need the Internet. You could select a landline number when you purchase the Ooma service.
