Ooma Set To Release Ooma Telo Cordless Handset [Promises Free US Calls, Fee International Calls To Other Ooma Customers]

The internet telephone service provider, Ooma, have announced a new, handsfree, internet based handset in the form of the not unattractive Ooma Telo which, apart from serving as an internet based telephone promising free calls within the US as well as internationally to other Ooma users, can also serve as a standard landline telephone.

Obviously, in order to take advantage of the Ooma Telo’s free calls a broadband internet connection is a prerequisite but, should you have one and wish to avail yourself of the Ooma Telo you’ll be please to know that the device offers a well rounded feature set including support for caller ID, ringtones and a contact manager as well as boasting some additional features such as the ability to pass on your address to 911 operators should you make an emergency call. Naturally, in being an internet based phone, the Telo will, of course, also play ball with your PC allowing you to organise your contacts and listen to voicemails.

The Ooma Telo is set to retail as a wireless handset and router combo for around $250 though, at the time of writing, no exact details concerning shipping dates have been announced.
