I currently utilize AT&amp;T as my local carrier. I have my home security connected to my landline. Will Ooma accommodate this?

No. Alarms require a standard POTs line. Most alarms do offer a network module upgrade so it can communicate over a network. You have to have all your internet backbone (modem, router, hubs etc. on battery backup ).

Yes but there is a one-time $40 fee to port it .... http://ooma.com/app/support/can-i-keep-my-phone-number-if-i-want-get-rid-my-landline.

I don't understand the question. I use little, as this is my secondary phone to OOMA.

No, they use different frequencies. I have both Panasonic phones and Ooma phones in my house. If the line is answered with the Panasonic, I can then pick it up with the Ooma, but not vice-versa. The very best feature the Ooma offers is the "blacklist" which you can use to stop annoying phone numbers from calling you. Once you get a call from a telemarketer, political call, collection agency, freaky ex, or anyone else you don't want to hear from, just go to the Ooma dashboard on line and two clicks later , you are done with that number.

You can use what you want. The Ooma handsets have the advantage that they discover the rest of Ooma wirelessly and they they are very well put together.

Good Q! I can't say with any certainty, however I'd guess so. Best to check the Ooma support site.

If I understand your question, if the base of the At&t; wireless phone system is connected to the old landline service, all the phones should work. In my case I have 3 wireless units including the base they all work perfectly. But, you will still need a landline service through some provider to have it work as discribed, for example my landline provider is Comcast/or it could be others such as Verizon.

You would need to use 1 or more splitters and/or connectors the Ooma office line on your 2 line phone. (which I have done) I used a Line 1 Line 2 splitter to feed Ooma and another line in.

Yes you can, but be very diligent in your understanding of Ooma's charges, all of them; so that you are not surprised. We returned our equipment and do not have their service, their pricing structure and support did not work well for our needs.

When I talked with an AT&T sales person today, he said that this device can NOT be used with home alarm systems that are associated with land lines.

It should work if you plug straight into the Ooma box as the Ooma device just sees a regular telephone making a call when the PiSector alarm makes an outgoing call. You may be able to feed from your Ooma box straight into a jack in the house and then use all the jacks in your house instead of having to be plugged into the Ooma box itself. But this would depend on your house telephone cable setup. This is how I use my alarm with MagicJack, which is the same principal as the Ooma box, only with a computer in the equation as the Magicjack that I have needs the computer.

Yes, you can plug in. Ooma says the preferred installation is by cable between modem and router.

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.

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

I bought Ooma with wireless. It did not work for me. However, when I plugged it into the back of the router it works perfectly. We have used it for about 6 months now and we can't tell any difference in service from our old ATT connection except for the bill being less than 5 dollars a month:)

Ooma Home probably will not work, but you can check out this link for info and contacts from the Ooma site for Ooma Office. http://ooma.com/products/business
