How is this free? Does it use a Google Chrome number? Since the Google Chrome service will end next month or so, then what do you do with it? Pay the 10$/month fee?

it's like a death and taxes thing..the govt wants their taxes, not anything to do with ooma or it's service. they just collect govt taxes just like when you buy gas or anything else for that matter.

It has nothing to do with Google. THey (OOMA) will give you a number (you can choose form a list) or you can "port over" you current number. Once you buy the OOMA equipment (more or less a "modem") you only pay the federal "taxes and fees?". So it isn't totally "free" but my cost is about $3.50 (in taxes and "fees) a month for (IP) phone service or about 45 dollars less than with the phone company. Hope this helps.

No monthly fee for this TVGuardian set-top box. No setup fee. Remember that the TVGuardian uses the hidden closed-caption information to detect profanity. Some thing like streaming video and other types of broadcasts doe not have closed-captioning. Try the TVGuardian LT today for 45 days. If it doesn't work for you, we will take it back. Thanks!

The device does NOT come with pre-paid service. You'll still need to arrange for that. I know it will run on the Verizon system. Don't know about any others. I use a $50/month plan that provides enough for general work. Something like 5 Gbytes. I rarely go over 1 Gbyte or 2. But, I save watching videos and listening to streaming radio until I'm on unlimited internet access at home.

You can create a google account and then download the apps from there. Not all apps are free.

There was not a monthly fee when I purchased this in 2011. I recall the minutes being expensive, but when you are overseas, it's to be expected. When minutes got low it prompted me to buy more in $5.00 increments, which was a good feature.

There is a monthly fee. The fee is based on the time interval between outbound pings from the unit. Each time the unit sends out a ping the signal is sent to a Google-like map and you can see on your computer screen either in real time or in a historical record. The greater the frequency of the ping (I chose one ping every 10 seconds which is $39.95 per month) the greater the monthly fee. Also, there is an initial set up fee. I do not remember exactly how much it is, I think less than $50.00. Had I the setup to do over again I would choose on ping every 30 seconds because the battery would last longer between charges. A secondary benefit would be a less expensive monthly fee. Good luck. There is a monthly fee. The fee is based on the time interval between outbound pings from the unit.

It's a Chromebox. It comes with Google's Chrome OS. I suggest more research on your part before you purchase.

Yes, but my first step is to always install chrome from the play store. Matter of preference though.

It doesn't work that way. You have to pay for service about $10.00 a month and then whatever you going to use to pay for minutes.

I'm not sure what page you are referring to but the link for $249 was the same system I purchased for less from Amazon. It works just fine but I think their monthly pricing for service is too high. as my evoice account give me more for less.

there is an initial turn on fee, then a monthly pay as you go fee. the monthly rates vary depending on the frequency of data down load- 1 sec. up to 5 mins. Find their web site for accurate rate info. they are also available by phone for questions , even prior to purchase. that tel. # is also on the website-great customer service and easy to use the product and program ( I am not real tech savvy).

They typically will charge you 10$ a month for internet, when I had this phone. Otherwise if you can get around not getting a data plan (the 10$ was as low as I could get them to go), they'll charge you by how much data you use (which can get pretty pricy!!)

No it doesn't, also be aware it doesn't run a OS like win or mac. Chrome isn't compatible with a lot of programs I found out after the fact

Wish I had a more helpful answer at the moment than this; I know it works with Chrome as my browser. I had to look up what the OS was and am now keenly interested in it because it looks crazy cool. So I hope this USB is Chrome OS friendly as it is how I connect. I'm assuming you're a Verizon customer already and everything else is functional with the modem; just is it compatible. I lack the hardware to fully answer this question, I'm afraid. But thanks for the awareness to OS sounds interesting!

The Google Chome Browser comes packaged as an app on this device. . . so I'm not sure what you are asking.In the app list there is an app for the DVD player so you can "jump" from Chrome to the player. You can even pin it to the task bar so it is readily accessible.The one thing that doesn't work with Google Chrome is hulu plus. They've never developed the app to work on Google Chrome. Even though there is an icon for it in the app list it won't work. Also the device allows you to browse the internet, but if you expect to go to ABC or NBC and play recent episodes - you're out of luck. They don't work on Google Chrome either.

Totally free GoogleVoice calling ends mid-May. However, I used OBI's web page to sign up for a PhonePower service that is discounted for those using OBI boxes. OBI and PhonePower have done a great job of making the switch and sign up VERY EASY. Two rates, either $3 a month for 300min/mth or $5/mth for unlimited calling+some foreign calling. Included free (911), voicemail, etc. Sort of one-click signup for OBI folks...up and running in 5 minutes...note that you need to go back to OBI page after PhonePower signup to confirm configuration change from Google to PP (again one click). We'll see how it goes. We went with the one-year $60 plan...didn't bother to pay to move my old # as we use the VOIP phone for just outgoing long-distance calls.
