How does Ooma work?

Ooma provides a Voice over Internet Protocol, VoIP, service that allows users to make and receive phone calls using the internet, rather than traditional phone lines. The service typically operates through a device called the Ooma Telo. This device connects to a user's internet router and acts as a gateway between the internet and regular telephones. Once connected, users can plug in their regular telephone to the Telo device. The Telo translates the voice signals into data packets, which are then transmitted over the internet. Similarly, incoming calls are received through the Telo, where they are converted from data packets back into standard voice signals, enabling clear communication. In addition to basic calling capabilities, Ooma offers a range of features such as voicemail, call blocking, and even mobile applications for making calls from smartphones. Ooma also provides various plans and options, including free basic service with certain limitations and premium plans that offer additional features. The use of Ooma is particularly advantageous for those seeking to reduce their phone bills and enjoy the benefits of enhanced telecommunications without the complexity associated with traditional phone service.
