Why do I need a home internet phone if I have a mobile phone?

Smartphones have changed personal and business communications. However, there are two important reasons why millions of individuals keep their home phone service with VoIP options like Ooma: 

1. Accessibility: Most homes already have a broadband internet connection, making it easy to transfer a phone number or make a VoIP call. Similarly, Wi-Fi® has become much more of a commodity, allowing VoIP calls to be made from anywhere there is a Wi-Fi® connection. 

2. Scalable: It's very easy to add additional users to a call and add extra users to your home or business phone plan. With no contract necessary, unlimited calling and an easy DIY setup, it's an excellent service option for families and home offices as well.
