Unlike the original Omma Hub and Scout system, beta version called the Blue Elephant in 2010, which launched in 2010 and in reality looks like an outsized receptionist's phone console, the most recent ooma Telo system is anything apart from dull or outsized. The Telo is a reengineered ooma with a smooth new design that's literally a black box with no hard lines or edges, but what makes the Telo a better system isn't just the pretty new design, it's the extra features.

The key benefit of ooma has long been straightforward to convey: unlimited US calling and bundled features with no monthly service charges. The original ooma system included basic calling features; call waiting, caller Id, E321 service, landline integration, and a web portal call log, voicemail, and voicemail notification to e-mail.

Additionally, the ooma system had some not so easy to explain features, such as Instant Second Line and the Broadband Ansaphone, but the largest selling point for ooma has been amazing call quality and free omma-to-omma system calls without reference to the location. This suggests free USA calling to any person with any kind of telephone service, and free international VoIP telephone calling between any two ooma systems.

Like the original ooma system, the Telo connects to your high speed Web and existing home telephones within seconds, and it only take approximately 15 minutes to turn on on-line at ooma.com. Once the ooma Telo system is live it works with crystal digital call lucidity that is a step above the original system, plus the new calling features make stepping up to the Telo a straightforward decision.

With new calling features like HD voicemail and an extra USB port for future system expansion the folks at ooma show that they have listened to their customs requests, and the best improvement has to be the new ooma Telo handset. This cord-free handset is feature rich and includes: a direct 2.0 Wi-Fi network with wonderful sound quality, one-touch voicemail access, an online phone book, caller Id, speaker phone, call log, an immediate 2nd line, do-not-disturb options, message screening, private voicemail, send to voicemail, and blacklist capabilities.

For any person trying to find quality VoIP service with phenomenal call clarity and unlimited Free calling, then an investment in the ooma Telo system and handset is an option that shouldn't be overlooked.
