Why does everyone keep referring to Ooma as being “free lifetime calls”, as if you can use it free till you die? We all know it’s for the lifetime of Ooma or whenever they decide to end the “free” deal, whichever comes first. Their own web site stated that “free” was only guaranteed for 3 years. Also note that Ooma started charging a monthly fee for their “Premium” service, which includes things that used to be “free”.

Ooma does claim it will be free after the initial hardware purchase. Yes, they do offer premium services but they are not needed, unless you have a use for the extra features.

Yes, Ooma claims lots of things. And the Premium Service (which they charge a monthly fee for) is all the real useful services that they were going to provide “free for life”, like the “instant second line”. As I understand it, this capability is required if you want to use your own phone line while some other unknown Ooma subscriber is using it.
At least they’re coming to their senses and realizing that they have to charge for real service. Nothing can be free forever.
