I had Ooma for years and years. It was well worth the cost of the price of the box bc then I only paid <$5/month. You need to have it for so long to make it cost effective. I had it way beyond that.
In the end the box was still working (I aam 86.74% certain we discarded the box, but if I didn't, I can send it to you. Then it really will be almost no cost).
We got rid of it because in the end we all had cell phones and never answered or used the home phone. I kept it around awhile for emergencies, but in the end wasn't sure the kids would think of it, go to it, etc. I figured if their cell phones were unavailable and it was an emergency the best bet was to leave and go to the neighbors home since we live in a suburban neighborhood.
And now that we have 2 Echos, those can be used to make phones calls so we have those as back up.
