Families often find that a home phone adds reliability and convenience that cell phones can’t always match. With Ooma, everyone in the household can share one easy-to-remember home number, and can make and receive calls if cell phones are lost, dead, or turned off. If you need to call home, it’s also easier to call one central number rather than systematically call one person at a time.
Ooma uses your internet connection, not cell towers — so it’s great for areas with poor mobile coverage. As long as you have a stable internet connection, you’ll enjoy clear, reliable phone calls, even in places where cell service drops out.

Traditional phone companies charge high monthly line fees and long-distance costs. Ooma eliminates those — your monthly cost is only taxes and fees, and you can enjoy unlimited nationwide calling plus optional affordable international rates.
Despite widespread mobile use, many homeowners opt to keep their landline phone due to safety reasons. Given the reported problems with traditional cell phone service providers and their inconsistencies with 911 dispatchers, it's understandable. Let's walk through what happens when you dial 911 from a landline vs. a cell phone.
Ooma's VoIP phone service offers the 911 functionality you'd expect from a landline phone. However, it's important to note that you must provide a valid address within your country of purchase when you set up your device, and update your address with the device if you move into a new home. With Ooma's 911 service, emergency calls are routed to your local dispatcher instead of a national call center, and Ooma automatically relays your street address information to emergency services.
Ooma also offers a home security system with an app that allows mobile phone access to your home number, meaning you can take your home phone on the go. The app lets you dial 911 remotely, so even if you are across town and an emergency is detected in your home, dispatchers will be sent to your home address.
