Why would someone not want to switch to Ooma, a free home phone service?

Ooma is company that provides free home phone service through VoIP.
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Not everyone has broadband believe it or not. Lack of broadband, fear of losing the internet, and simple lack of computer knowledge will scare off a lot of people.

I have a VOIP phone service and love it!

What VoIP system do you have and do you think it is better than Ooma?

Most people in the US will get a cable/internet/phone or satellite/internet/phone bundle from their local provider. It may not be cheaper than Ooma but the convenience of one bill will make it hard to get them to switch over unless they have a lot of connection issues.

Yea rightt. Lack of knowledge or ignorance will scare people to engage especially free services. Some of them think that when a service is free at the bottom of it, its a scam. Well, not all.

The following disadvantages prevents other users to switch to Ooma:

* High upfront cost (though with the promise of long term savings)
* Only for users in the United States
* Terrible telephone customer support
* Service dependent on the company staying in business

Maybe, lack of support. When its free you cannot blame or sue anyone if the services fail.

Ooma is not wanted by everyone since there is another service called MagicJack. Anyway, I heard that Ooma is not an original idea though. It was thought they have taken the idea to PhoneGnome which is another competitor. For VoIP business phone service you can adapt something from FreedomVOICE, RingCentral, Grasshopper etc.
