Ooma requires an internet connection. I have a Virgin Mobil WiFi therefore there is nothing to plug into. Will Ooma work wih this?

If you have a Wi-Fi network in the home or office, then you will need the Ooma wireless adapter (about $50) to plug into the USB port on the Ooma Telo. You will then be able to make the Telo a device on your Wi-Fi network, and it will work - I've used it this way. (Note that the Telo only has one USB port, so if you use the wireless adaptor you cannot use the Bluetooth adapter.

No it doesn't ,the Internet connection is just to stream on you Mobil devise

Well it won't load if you do not have any signal or if it is not in your contract. I don't have the phone now because it was not good for me to use. Contact your service provider if this doesn't help. Not the best phone. Never go knockoff.

No, you don't need an internet device for this to work. I had previously purchased a Verizon extender that would only work with an internet connection, but then just quit working alltogether and became frustrated at Verizon's week attempts to find a resolution. The beauty of this device is that it just boosts your cell signal without any dependence on an internet connection.

I am using mine with my Ooma. All features seem to work fine. With only one line plugged in, the phone Line 2 light blinks constantly. To eliminate, I plugged both lines into the Ooma with a splitter. This solution did not confuse the phone software - all calls come in on Line 1. The Ooma does not need two lines to work its call-waiting feature, as the calls are held in the Ooma base. The call-waiting works as intended - a beep is heard when the second call comes in.

I ordered one and returned it. It didnt work for me as a stand alone umit(wifi booster) i missread add or they added more info. Looks know like this unit is supposed to hook up to router then send you wifi signal. I wish i had called seller to ask why it didnt work before returning it. If it works it is one of the only ways to get a mobil network with wifi router in a mobil vehicle like my rv.

Ooma's website lists a satellite connection as an acceptable high-speed Internet connection. However, I'm running a similar Obihai 110 device (that links to Google Voice) across an Excede satellite and it is usually comparable to talking across a fairly poor cell phone connection due to satellite time lags that can exceed one second.

It's all pending on what you want to do. If your going to do Premier Ooma if you sign up for a year of service you get an adapter for free (Bluetooth or wireless). If your going for Basic service then I would recommended getting the ooma with wireless adapter bundle. Yes when I bought mine too it was less than the individual ones too.

Your question might best be answered by calling Ooma support. I found them quite responsive.

I really can't say but Ooma support is very helpful. I've "chatted" online with them and they are nice and understand customer needs. Try clicking the "live chat" button on the right side of the screen on their home page: http://www.ooma.com/

The USR modem will work with a voip service but you need to connect it to your voip unit with a phone cable. I do not know if the Ooma unit will work with this set up.

I also have Verizon but am having no luck getting a connection to the internet. It shows as being connected to the WiFi connection but I can't get any internet pages to load.

it's necessary if you are using OOMA telo and you cannot hardwire it to your router.

At the risk of sounding dumb here, what's a sim card? I've had a very low-end motorolla phone for the last few years on my go-phone plan. Does every phone have a sim card, and are they able to work when you go from one brand of phone to another? Thanks again.

This is sort of like an extension phone for another room in the house. You need to have the base station to make it work like the model #6419 or #6429. You plug the base station into the Ooma, and it will work.

This phone doesn't directly connect to a VoIP service, it is a standard 2-line analog phone. However, I have used this phone with OOMA for nearly a year and it has worked nicely. You need a device that will bridge from the VoIP service to analog telephone service. The caller ID features are dependent on the provider (VoIP or regular) not on the phone.

I had the best success by connecting the Ooma to the port on the wireless router. At first, I connected my Ooma to the cable modem and connected the wireless router into the port on the Ooma but we'd loose connection on our devices when a call came in. Definitely connect your Ooma to the wireless router assuming you have one.
