Anyone using ooma?

We (well, my wife, really) have had it for almost three years now. It
works great for talking to people; she says the sound quality has
always
been fine. She very much likes the ability to simultaneously ring
both
the "Ooma phone" as well as her cell phone, as it pretty much means
she'll never miss a call. I like the fact that it is a self-contained
box that you plug "regular" phones into, rather than something than
has
to be plugged into a PC that's powered up 24/7.

It's a bit of a hassle to set up for FAXing -- you have to dial an
access code first (*99) to tell Ooma to use a more "transparent"
CoDec,
and set the FAX machine to a lowish speed --, but after doing that
once
it works OK.

Question and comment:

(1) Can you transfer your old land-line number to Ooma?

(2) I use MyFax, so I just E-mail a PDF to a specific E-mail address
and the recipient receives a normal "FAX". Likewise my advertised FAX
phone number just catches real faxes and then E-mails them to me.



Yes, and yes? dedicated line for fax.
