When I bought mine a year ago on Ebay for $50 there were many on there that said they could be transferred for free. In my case, not only was it free, but the guy I bought it from had paid for their premium service with about 5 months remaining. That transferred over too and somehow I actually had the premium service for more like 9 months. One good thing with Ooma is they don't play games. For example, when I was trying out MJ, they charged I think $30 to port a phone number. Which is fair, typical etc. What isn't so obvious is that they then consider that number a vanity number and you have to pay $20 extra each year. I've also heard that MJ tries to hit you with a charge to port out the number if you want to leave and keep it. IDK any other company that does that. |

No idea. We bought ours from Costco for ~$90 (they have them on sale every once in a while). When we initially signed up they paid to transfer our old (since 1961) phone number and gave us a year of free premium service. The additional features weren't sufficiently tempting to actually pay for, but YMMV. -- Cheers, Bev <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> "I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts." -- John Steinbeck |
