Reviews Telo Air VoIP Phone Bluetooth Adapter By Robert
Background: I was originally paying Verizon $20 a month for local calling only. There was significant static and the service was low for what I was paying. I switched to Comcast for $33 a month for VOIP service through their HFC network as part of a Triple Play. For this I received basic service and free unlimited U.S. calling. Although the service with Comcast was good, we found that the cost for a phone in the home was not a necessity since everyone now has cell phones. Since this was no longer a must have, I looked for something that was low cost but would still provide traditional land line service for the FAX, business calls, etc.Research: I looked at several options, including cutting the cord completely. Vonage was pushing a lot of ads at the time, but to me the cost was still too high at $13 a month. Magic Jack was advertised on television, but it did not appear to be the right solution for the home since I wanted to hard-wire into my home phone network, and the Magic Jack required a computer to be on at all times. A friend recommended Ooma. He had a unit for several years and was happy, so I took a look at the service. I found that the service offering compared well to Comcast, and when the unit went on sale, I decided to give it a try.
Out of the Box: Everything was packaged neatly and the unit arrived in perfect condition. The instructions for set-up were clear and concise. The unit is similar in size to a wireless router, without the antennas of course.

After I decided to buy my own cable modem (without telephony) instead of renting one from Comcast, I lost the ability to use VOIP with Comcast, so had to find an alternative. Following the recommendation of a family member, I bought this unit and set it up. So far it has worked very well. The instructions are quite good. It seemed to have a bit of trouble getting an IP address from my router initially, but within 10 minutes after I cycled the unit, the logo turned solid blue on the top and the phone worked fine. I am opting for basic ooma service, so I had to pay $40 to port my landline number from Comcast, but it was worth it to me versus keeping the free number I selected through the ooma website. The website indicates that the transfer will take 3-4 weeks, which is lengthy for something that should be simple by now, but maybe that estimate is way on the cautious side- time will tell.- Some considerations:
Reviews Telo Air VoIP Phone Bluetooth Adapter By Vincent Worth (California)
I am a long-time, senior technical manager. My internet provider is AT&T with U-verse at 6 Mbps. After 3 days of testing and 8 calls to Ooma tech support the product is now functioning in an acceptable manner.Before the Ooma arrived, so that I could use the phones on two different jacks,I had a new phone jack installed close to my router; I did not want to use the Ooma Wireless Plus Bluetooth Adapter because of problems reported on the internet. Installation of Ooma was easy, except the first boot of the system takes at least 15 minutes and the box changes to several colors, which are not documented in their instructions; just wait until the box turns a constant royal blue. Outbound calls worked well immediately. Inbound calls were a disaster. Sometimes they worked perfectly; most of the time the phone never rang; sometimes the phone rang after six rings that the caller could hear issued. In low internet traffic periods, inbound calls seemed to work.
Voices have a slightly deeper tone difference and slightly higher volume, which cannot be fixed; but the voice quality is as good as, or better than, the best of cell phones.
Most of Ooma tech support is very prompt to answer, very courteous, but of little help. On my sixth call the 3rd level of tech support blamed my AT&T modem/router, yet when I called AT&T U-verse tech support, (which is excellent), their tests showed the device performing above their maximum speed rating with no lost packets. Then the 3rd level of Ooma support blamed a congested router somewhere along the way to their server, (45 miles away), or she said it could be their box. She wanted me to go to a friend's house to install the box there to see if it works there, which I did not agree would be helpful unless a friend had identical equipment and internet service. She agreed to send me another box, just in case it is the Telo at fault, which I was very doubtful would fix whatever the problem was.
The next day in disbelief that my first Telo box was at fault, on my 8th call to Ooma Support, Raymond A in the 2nd level of tech support looked at my current box from his end, (the replacement box was not yet due), and identified the problem right away. He said the problem was that I have an integrated modem/router, and therefore he needed to make a change to set my box to a different QoS service level; he further said that the previous support was mistaken in suggesting what was the problem. He changed the QoS (Quality of Service) setting in the box to 0 for both inbound and outbound calls from his end, and now it receives calls perfectly, including prime movie download time on Sat night and Monday business usage loads.
Be careful. If you buy this product, don't discontinue your land line service until you are sure you it works flawlessly. If inbound calls are not working properly, and if you are using Ooma's voice mail answering service, you will see voice mails occurring when you were there to answer the phone. If you have Ooma voice mail set so that your home answering machine picks up the messages instead, then make test calls with your cell phone or have a friend call you in peak usage times, (the highest traffic is generally seen during afternoon and evenings during the week); otherwise you will not know if the inbound calls are working at all.
The Ooma documentation has no reference to a modem with integrated router. The Ooma support reps are clueless, except for Raymond A. If you have an integrated modem/router and are experiencing lost calls, call and insist you talk to Raymond who can make inbound calls work for you by setting QoS (Quality of Service setting) to 0 for both inbound and outbound calls; (apparently QoS is only of value with low speed DSL internet connections, and the default settings for QoS on the box are a problem with higher speeds and integrated modem/routers).
Be patient and persist until you finally get through to someone who knows something; there is a huge difference in the knowledge of their support reps, apparently because they are growing so fast that they have many inexperienced reps on the phone and most of their higher levels of support are no better than the first level. Their management appears to be oblivious to the many problems reported on the internet and their own forums, apparently only looking at their growing sales from Amazon, Costco, Walmart, etc.
Thank goodness for Raymond A at Ooma; he made a good box, deficient in documentation, work well.

I also experienced some serious voice dropout in calls, (even local calls), when I moved my Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) closer to my modem, which is strange because the data transmissions were not affected, only voice. By moving the UPS back to where it was 18 inches away from the modem, the quality of voice calls was restored.
