Ooma Telo VoIP Home Phone System

Wednesday, January 23, 2013

One consequence of the cell phone age is the casual phone call: you never dial a number and just see who picks up nowadays, you dial a specific number to a specific phone that you know is in a specific person’s pocket or purse. And that can lead to awkwardness. Among in-laws especially. Maybe it’s because in-law relationships are already kind of awkward. But one of the benefits of having a home phone is your in-laws and relatives have a number to call to reach you or your spouse, and whoever picks up gets to have a little conversation with them.

It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but those little conversations add up. They’re a nice little way to check in, say hi, shoot the breeze, and touch base with each other’s lives before you hand the phone to your significant other and say, “It’s your dad.” And when you don’t have them, when you go six or eight months without so much as saying hello to your in-laws, it makes visiting them kind of weird like you’re meeting them for the first time all over again.

All of this is just a long-winded way to say if you get this refurbished Ooma Telo VoIP Home Phone System you’ll have a cheap home phone set up for VOiP so that you can have a phone line your relatives can call any time just to say hi to you or anyone else who hears it ring.
