Business model

how do they make money? the unit costs can't cover all of their fees.

startup funding atm. --ben_b (talk) 09:53, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. The combination of cell phones plus peering calls eliminating PSTN termination costs has made this business proposition very affordable. Ooma also has more than 25% of subs paying for premium services in addition to the actual box revenue. -- Rbuchanan (talk) 03:32, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ooma Telo

The Telo section is almost completely ripped off word for word from the engadget article. I rewrote it a little bit, but someone should probably rewrite the whole thing. Deputydog23 (talk) 01:29, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, the "next generation" talk reads like a press release, rather than a NPOV. Furthermore the "next" generation and "will" wording should probably be rewritten to the present or past tense. --Stannius (talk) 00:36, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Revamped website

On October 01, 2009, Ooma has launched a completely redesigned website with new video clips and other visual enhancements. Pricing, terms and conditions for new customers also have changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.246.96.174 (talk) 18:40, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ooma vs. ooma

The company's correct, legal name is "Ooma", not "ooma". Only the logo is rendered in all-lowercase. —Quicksilver^{T @} 23:12, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Executives leaving

What's going on?? First Rich Buchanan leaves, then Andrew Galligan disappears, and THEN, Tami Bhaumik disappears! Ajw522 (talk) 05:56, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Canada

There should be some reference to the fact that Ooma is now available in Canada, and includes calling anywhere in Canada except The Yukon, NWT and Nunavut. Prices etc are similar to those in the USA. JJ Bosch (talk) 17:56, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not Free.

The article should not read that it is "free" nor that there is no monthly fee.

"customers only pay applicable government taxes and access fees, around $3.50 a month" Should read "customers only pay only a small fee, around $3.50 a month, $4.50 in Canada" In many regions there are no access fees imposed by the government, and until Ooma makes it's books public to show that they collect no margin to cover their own operating expenses and that none of the "taxes" you are paying are those of Ooma, there is no evidence that there is anything entirely free, monthly, with Ooma.

The wording "government taxes and access fees" makes it unclear as to wether the access fees are those of government or those of Ooma or a blend of the two.

I have Ooma both in my US residence and my family's Canadian home. Their own information says the monthly charge covers their expenses, including taxes and fees.

I'm not complaining about Ooma, their service or support; we think it's a great deal... but it is not free every month. JJ Bosch (talk) 18:09, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like an ad

The article sounds like an ad to me. Did Ooma write most of it themselves? I think some context about VOIP in general, including its pro's & con's, would be helpful.
