Hung Up

A quick FAQ for the Ooma Telo VOIP Phone.

What exactly is the Ooma Telo VOIP Phone?

It’s a device that you plug your high-speed internet into and then you can make free calls within the US! You only pay applicable taxes!

Oh, so it’s not just a strange-looking cell phone?

Nope! But it does allow you to maker international calls starting at 1.4 cents per minute! Not to mention Ooma PureVoice technology delivers unmatched voice clarity and reliability!

…

Hello?

…

You still there? We could talk about how you can access your voicemail from any phone or web browser. That’s pretty cool right?

…

Sigh. This is the fifth time this week someone’s left right after the cell phone question.
