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.

I own the old model only, and have been using it for over 3 years now. Ooma Support said they both have the same functionality. The new one came out on January 24, 2014 and has a lower profile. Its dimension is 5.5 x 2 x 7.5 inches, while the old model dimension is 8.9 x 3 x 8.3 inches. I also notice the old model has 11 touch keys while the new model has 6. Both old and new models have very high user rating. Very strange, the old model costs more than the new one on Amazon! May be the old model is leftover stocks. Ooma only sells the new model now. Update 5/05/15: Ooma has a $40 off referral sales good until May 15th. It's $89.99 after savings. It is directly from Ooma with 30 days money back guarantee. Each referral code below can be used only 5 times. http://www3.ooma.com/refer-a-friend/?referral_code=MOP9690 http://www3.ooma.com/refer-a-friend/?referral_code=TIH2648

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.

I am unimpressed with Ooma all the way around. We rarely use the HD2 handsets so keep them in their charging cradles. When we use them, we only use them sporadically and not for long calls. This is probably because we have lost confidence in the system. I have called tech support twice because the phones immediately go to voicemail. We get it fixed and the next day it is back to not ringing. It has become an over glorified, expensive answering machine. The handsets are slippery and hard to hold on to. No ergonomic forethought. I have their biggest calling plan, too.

The Free Home Phone Service is the basic unit allowing your computer to provide phone service. The VoIP device provides a wireless extension to some other location in your home but you have to have the basic service installed first.

Hi in answer to your question you can use both. I have four cordless phones counting my base phone, plus the Ooma handset. They all work well. Plus the second line can be used on all phones. I initially had a problem with making a call on the second line to Canada while a conversation was taking place to Canada on line one. I contacted support on chat and the problem was quickly resolved.

Hi Bill, I wish I could help you, but I really don't know the difference between the two. Sorry.

I am sending back the two Ooma tel sets I have as well. It's a POS made in China. I didn't know that until I got them. I am not buying from China again. The Telo is a POS. I have to reboot and reload the battery or the person I am calling cannot hear me every time I charge it and it has to be charged a lot. Also, 2 handsets don't work and Ooma keeps pushing out the upgrade date. Their customer service his HORRIBLE and they are in the Phillipines. JUNK.

I don't know there to be a difference however if you are planning on using the mobile app for it beware. I purchased mine only to find out the app for iPhones is unavailable for an unspecified time. It's quite a hassle to track every meal on the computer for me rather than on phone on the go. Also see no need for the blue tooth aspect if can't use on the go. I have to plug mine into computer several times to see where I'm at. A lot of effort without the app. Also suppose to link with other apps like my fitness pal however that is down too for unspecified time. Disappointed to say the least.

David and Richard have explained the difference clearly. I have both devices and the premium service. This also lets you set up an additional phone number for the Linx, giving you a dedicated FAX number.

The model was different. I don't remember now because I no longer have the phone, but for sure it was a different model the one was advertised. It worked fine for me, but the phone came with an opened box and looked as it had been used before. Very sad

I ordered this bluetooth and Obi202, but when searching for better pricing from different vendors, I ordered obi302 instead of obi202 (obi302 does not work with Googlevoice); these two models have the same enclosure, same color, excepts the number on it. This mistake cost me more than $10 for restocking fee and a little more than $5 fee to ship it back. Make the long story short, I do not have obi202 and do not plan to purchase any obi's product; and since returning obi bluetooh may cost me more than its cost, therefore I still have the obi bluetooth in front of me to remind me not to purchase obi's product. Beside that, I have not use any obi's product to tell you what you want to know.

I'm not sure about that. Why don't you google the company directly and give them a call. Unless something has changed, they are a small company where real folks actually answer the phone. The were extremely helpful with all my questions. I doubt you will be disappointed with this device. Admittedly I've not used mine in a few years since my teenager grew up I was monitoring. There may have been changes at the company. But again, I was very impressed with them and believe me, I'm pretty picky. Good luck

I prefer Ooma because it is more reliable and has better call quality. Ooma was rated number one for home phone service the past three years by a leading consumer magazine. That same magazine rated Magic Jack as worse than Ooma. If you want to buy a new Ooma Telo for just $99.99 then copy this link:www.ooma.com/refer-a-friend/?referral_code=NEK9052

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.

I tried a spare generic Bluetooth adapter, that I had lying around, on my Ooma and it didn't work (works fine on my PC, so it's not a hardware failure). According to the Ooma user forums, they've apparently changed their firmware to only work with the Ooma-branded adapter. Costs more than a generic, but the company makes money from hardware sales and optional services, not the basic phone service, so I can't begrudge them the sale.

The Ooma wireless adapter is for the application where the Ooma Teleo is not directly connected to your wireless router. To use a cordless phone system the base unit is connected directly into the Ooma Teleo. I use a cordless DECT 6.0 system with 7 handsets. The Ooma wireless adapter does not affect the use of a cordless phone system; the base still needs to be directly connected to the Teleo unit. The wireless adapter is easy to set up and works great.
