Ooma adds new features, premium price

her highness

Ooma is putting out some new enhancements to their VoIP telephone system for the home.  Their $12.99 per month premium release now includes:

  • The ability to add up to 9 virtual phone numbers for the home.  You could put in a virtual home office, or add a line for each member of the family.
  • The ability to have Ooma drop copies of your voice mail into your email inbox.
  • Simultaneous ring with the users cellular phone.
  • Private voice mail boxes, call logs, and community blacklists.

It’s beginning to sound a lot like a small business unified communications system, isn’t it?  Many of these features that are new to Ooma are already available on small business phone systems like Jazinga.

    Yeh surprising how few people have implemented Asterisk into home uses. Considering how beneficial multiple lines/multiple mailboxes/call redirection to cells etc is.

    Considering any old pc can provider the donor horsepower I guess it’s just ‘know-how’, check out http://www.Cognation.net/Asterisk for a 60 second overview if you’ve never heard of Asterisk before.

    Cheers,
