Before ooma we had vonage on one phone line at $25/month and we had an addtl normal PSTN line that costs about $20/month (for local) and we spent an addtl $30/month in long distance on that PSTN line. we have 2 adults and 2 teenage kids in our house so we need 2 phone lines. since with ooma every phone in our house now has 2 lines we were able to eliminate both the vonage account and the long-distance charges. we didnt have to keep the local line (at $20/month) but we kept it anyways for reliable 911. so we are saving $55/month with ooma installed and therefore at full retail price for the ooma system we break-even with ooma in well less than one year. also the voice quality is better than both the pstn line and the vonage line and the answering service/system gives us the best features of voicemail with the best features of an answering machine. so we are happy customers. finally, since we now get more usage of our home phones we were able to cut back on usage of our cell phones while at home which saves us about $10/cellphone/month and all 4 of us in our home have cellphones. so even more savings. hi. i am a current ooma customer (beta tester). we have had the ooma hub and 2 ooma scouts in our house for over a month.
