I've talked from time to time about canceling our home number and going to cell only service or trying out VoiP. Since the youngest daughter seemed pretty concerned about keeping a home phone we have set up a new VoiP phone number. It is a Ooma Telo. And we were able to actually get a local phone number. Yippee!!

I purchased the Ooma directly from the company at the end of October for $99.99, which included free shipping. This was a special referral offer, that has since expired.

Our current phone bill is $30.80 each month. We get like 5 calls from people we know. The rest are telemarketers! The Ooma Telo will charge us $3.72 each month for federal taxes. After we recoup the initial cost, we will be saving $27.08 every month! I will call to cancel on Monday if things seem to go well over the weekend.

We have made a test call on the Ooma and it sounds perfect. No complaints in quality at all! Let me know if you have questions. I will try to do a review in a month or so to let you know how it continues to work.
