OOMA TELO AIR 2 with HD3 Handset Unboxing, Set Up, & Overview Free VoIP Home Phone 2021

[@MI-6e]

I bought the original Ooma gray box that came out in 2009 (back when there were zero fees). It paid about $119 and it's still working. There were issues with the service first year, but it has been smooth sailing since then. Just doing some research since I"m ordering one for my mom today for Mother's Day. It was much simpler when there was only one model to choose from.

[@Chilling-b9z]

I bought a cheap NUU N10 smart phone with android 14 to use as an emergency mobile phone with my ooma telo cord type. I hope I can get it to work with their mobile app. I was wondering if I could search the web with the mobile app?

[@Chilling-b9z]

Hello, if you make or get one phone call per month will the tax and fees be less?

[@AwesomeTuBees]

The taxes will be the same.

[@rborman1]

Excellent video. Made my Telo Air setup easy and smooth. Great job! Thanks.

[@GeorgeNadaYT]

Can I use my existing home phone number with this? I currently have att home phone service which is connected to my att home internet.

[@AwesomeTuBees]

Yes, you would have to transfer your current Number to Ooma. Very easy to do.

[@Computergk91Gaming]

Yes and are subscribed to ooma premier then port is free but are basic plan then 39.99 one time fee but I recommend the ooma premier annual it about 131 total after tax but a lot other features such as spam protection enhanced caller id plus a instant second line which is useful have kids in the house that all use the same phone I use the Panasonic two line corded/cordless that ported over my google voice number that was used on my obi2182

[@eleanorpeterson4857]

Help When I am talking on My Ooma phone the 2 extensions ring. Why doesn't it go to voicemail or ring busy for the incoming call?

[@RickMeister64]

How would this work with my home alarm which is connected to my current landline through a telco jack? I need that so that the alarm central can be called if the alarm goes off.

[@AwesomeTuBees]

With the system there are two phone jacks. One could go to the phone and the other could go to fax or alarm.

[@bradpelster8724]

Can you use both the phone jack on the Ooma device and the Ooma phones?

[@AwesomeTuBees]

Yes

[@patriciapea9318]

Do you have to buy the Ooma phones for setup? Do you know if they charge extra for more phones if needed?

[@TorrentFiend10]

You don't have to get the ooma phones no...... I think they just sell those for people who don't have any phones to start with. You can plug any regular phone into this and it will work. I have a VTech setup of five phones around the house and it works great with ooma. Just plug in the primary phone from your current setup to the Uma and then it should ring the rest of the phones around your home the way it normally works.

[@TorrentFiend10]

Honestly you might have a harder time finding this in store without the phones though. The device itself is $80 on Amazon which is all you need if you already have phones you are currently using and don't want to replace them. For example Costco has this but they sell it with phones for like a hundred or 120 bucks instead of $80 for just the device itself. If you don't need the phones I would buy it from Amazon or something and save a few bucks. It's not necessary to use ooma phones for basic service or common features like caller ID. Some of the additional features for higher cost plans the ooma sets might be better but if you just want the cheapest basic service possible your current phones will work fine.

[@AwesomeTuBees]

You don't have to to do the setup. Any landline phones will work. but if you do need one, they do sell them

[@Computergk91Gaming]

Any landline phone will work I have the Panasonic 2 line corded/cordless I have the ooma telo air 2 since my modem on the second floor and no option for Ethernet hookup I bought the ooma telo air 2 because used a obitalk 2182 and starting to shut there servers

[@bradmantiza6644]

I would like to know if how do you connect the ooma device to a 2.4 GHZ instead of 5GhZ ? Because they recommend that it works better into a 2.4 GHz

[@AwesomeTuBees]

I connected to a 2.4 ghz and it works fine

[@JordanPhilip23]

So do I choose a phone number in the app? What part in the process do I add a new phone number? (I don't want to use our old one). Thanks!

[@AwesomeTuBees]

Set up as a new number.

[@bossg2trill572]

so you can have the phones anywhere in the home..one phone doesn';t have to be connected direct to ooma device

[@AlexisHernandez-rf3wb]

Do you need high-speed internet to work

[@AwesomeTuBees]

you will need a high-speed Internet connection equivalent to at least a typical DSL connection with 384 kbps upstream and downstream

[@carishields7834]

Does the base re charge the batteries ?

[@AwesomeTuBees]

Yes

[@CM-le3py]

How can you set up fax without buying the too expensive Linx?

[@AwesomeTuBees]

Yes you can.

[@CharlottePrattWilson]

I am sitting on tech support on Ooma Telo because the ethernet cable doesn't fit into the back of my router/modem from Comcast. What do i do now??

[@AwesomeTuBees]

Just connect to your router wirelessly.

[@MKW369]

How do u port over number and you never showed us how it works after it downloaded

[@AwesomeTuBees]

When you activate your account they will give you a temporary number. i ported the number over through their website. It took a couple days.

[@benjamincooper3281]

how many handsets can be connected and will the phone work upstairs

[@AwesomeTuBees]

Mine paired to 3 and it works upstairs

[@t.s8113]

I ordered a Ooma Telo. The 2 phones were not included in the package so I purchased two Vtech phones that were supposed to be compatible with the Ooma. I successfully set up the Ooma, but the vtech phones (which are blue tooth) don't work. Shall I return them (Amazon) and purchase the phones that go with the Ooma base? Everyone said they are compatible with any wireless phone. Is it possible that I need a phone adapter or should I have purchased the Ooma that comes with the two phone? Any help is appreciated. Thanks for your video.

[@AwesomeTuBees]

Right now, Costco has a deal with Ooma telo with 3 wireless phones. Also, Bestbuy has Ooma telo with 2 wirless phones.

[@evansoppong83]

Thus it comes with it own number?

[@AwesomeTuBees]

You could either use your old landline phone number or get a new one.

[@darryllindsey6669]

If I’m for the fist time how do I use my current phone number to this device and how has it been working for you since you installed it thanks for your help

[@AwesomeTuBees]

You could use your current phone number or a new number.

[@stephen2220]

I just purchased an Ooma Air 2, when I push the speaker volume up or down I don't I get any response, (no sound) any ideas? Thanks

[@0doubledseven589]

Ooma system not setting the right time for Daylight Savings Time. This bug has been in the system since 2010?

[@AwesomeTuBees]

Have you address the problem with Ooma?

[@chemgamer1419]

Thanks for the video. I have a question. If I setup this device with my current home internet and have it working for a while then I change internet providers, I'm assuming all I need to do is connect to the new router and I should be good to go, correct? Thanks

[@JGS1852]

Correct

[@elass7325]

So does this have to be hardwired to your modem/router that is providing internet service for you?

[@AwesomeTuBees]

No, it could be connected to wifi or ethernet to your router. I have T mobile home wifi and it works well.

[@bradmantiza6644]

I would like to know if how do you connect the ooma device to a 2.4 GHZ instead of 5GhZ ? Because they recommend that it works better into a 2.4 GHz

[@robertwise4609]

my wifi was wiped and I need to wirelessly put in the new ssid and pwd, that's the one thing this video doesn't show - how to connect to the device with bluetooth from the setup app after it's activated

[@AwesomeTuBees]

Go to the app store and download Ooma Setup App. Unplug your ooma device and plug it back in, go to your app and click on configure Telo Air device. In there you should be able to type in your wifi and password to connect to your internet. Also be sure to turn on your bluetooth on your phone.

[@alexp-d3t]

Am I able to keep my current landline number or do I need a new one?

[@AwesomeTuBees]

You can keep your current number

[@Computergk91Gaming]

@@AwesomeTuBeesyou are to keep your current phone number make sure still active and if an active with your current phone provider during the porting process porting is free with an active ooma premier subscription other once it a one time charge of 39.99 if not subscripted to ooma premier but only 130 for annual subscription and a lot other features such as enhanced caller id so that who actually calling even you are not in your address book plus things like spam protection that send straight to voicemail and if kids in your house or an elderly person living in your house this gives the option having a second line that use that is totally separate your primary line you need an ooma linx then setup a privacy account then sign the ooma linx device to the second phone number

[@erich1979]

Great video. I have the 1st Ooma and want to get the air 2 one. If I get the one with the two handsets, that doesn’t impact connecting my current phone directly to the box right? I just want to make sure all my phones would still work.

[@AwesomeTuBees]

It should run fine. I got the two handsets and didn't impact my other phones in the house.

[@TorrentFiend10]

This guy is learning as he goes. He didn't even notice the giant red sticker saying not to connect the power before trying to activate the device, which was why he got the connection problem on the first attempt, he literally was not following the directions. I wouldn't go by his information but no you don't have to use the ooma phones. If you already have phones in the house you want to use I would get this through Amazon or something instead. You can use this with for example, VTech phones if you already have some or whatever phones you currently have. You can get the device you need cheaper by itself through Amazon without any unnecessary extra phones. You don't have to buy phones with this device. They just package phones with it and there's different ways to buy it. I don't know about using ooma phones with it AND existing phones. I think with that case you will have to pick one phone type or the other, not mix and match. If you already have a phone system you're currently using all you need is the device though which you can get for about 80 bucks on Amazon. Just connect the primary phone of your current setup to it and forget the Ooma phones entirely, also if you don't plan on using the Ooma phones and make sure you don't waste money buying phones you aren't using and by the device only by itself with no phones included. You already have phones so keep using those.

[@Janepint]

@@TorrentFiend10 Thank you, Thank you and thank you! I asked the on line chat and that said it shouldn't be a problem. But something is certainly a problem. I has one phone working from the old wired set that was meant for Ooma system as well, and now I can't even get that working. I didn't see a red sticker either, but I will unplug everything except internet and router and see if I can register it.

[@larryperaino9423]

Great video, I have one ordered just like yours I’m curious as to what is the phone line for is it for ?these phones ? or do I plug the phone line into my wall ? Or for a different brand of telephone? Thank you

[@AwesomeTuBees]

You just need to plug the ethernet into the device. The phone handset will connect wirelessly.

[@smog8634]

Does it work for business phone?

[@AwesomeTuBees]

Yes

Do you have to pay a fee to port your phone number from another carrier?

[@Snipely]

Why is setup not possible via Ethernet cable?

[@AwesomeTuBees]

Not sure, but i had setup through ethernet before with my old Ooma.

[@wandameadows5736]

You can use ethernet. Its the newest version that offers Wi-Fi & Bluetooth as well.

[@TorrentFiend10]

I'm guessing because you set it up through the app before connecting to your internet. Once it connects to the internet it can then connect to their servers to get updates the device needs and sync up with the account that has already been set up using the QR code or code that you already activated...... And simple terms it's probably more like creating a free account and then connecting the device to use that account. You have to activate the thing before it can be used, just like you have to first create an account before you can use that account.... This is probably why you just do it through the app on your phone first before plugging it in. Just to create it and get it established, then it has something to provide service to once it's activated on their system.
