We have been Ooma phone fans for a while now and became real fans when they announced Ooma Google Voice Extensions last year. Ooma Telo phones are fine but we have the older version. One can pick up a Ooma phone anywhere like bestbuy phones but we picked up ours at FRYs.

Press Release;
Techcrunch for free Ooma Phone— April 19, 2010 —OOMA PUREVOICE™ TECHNOLOGY: THE NEW STANDARD FOR HOME PHONE SOUND QUALITY
Ooma also announces Google Voice Extensions and Voicemail Transcriptions Now Available for Ooma Premier Subscribers
PALO ALTO, Calif., April 19, 2010 - Ooma, Inc. today announced the availability of Ooma PureVoice™ technology, designed to ensure excellent voice quality under the most demanding broadband conditions.
Ooma PureVoice technology is comprised of four key components:
Advanced voice compression
Ooma uses an advanced voice compression algorithm that reduces bandwidth consumption by 60% over standard VoIP technology and is more capable of withstanding packet loss without degradation. This leaves you with more bandwidth for all other online activities and increases the likelihood that your voice traffic will be delivered properly by your ISP.
Wire-speed QoS
Even though Ooma uses only a fraction of the bandwidth of standard VoIP technology, preserving voice quality requires that those packets arrive on time. The Ooma Telo prioritizes voice packets without slowing down the rest of your network. This way you can enjoy crystal clear calls even as you are uploading your latest video clips.
Adaptive redundancy
Packet loss is the enemy of VoIP - it can cause voice to sound stuttered or garbled. The Ooma Telo detects packet loss on your Internet connection and automatically sends redundant packets to boost the clarity of your phone call.
Encrypted calls
Ooma takes your privacy seriously. We use the same encryption technology to protect your conversations that governments use to protect classified data. This makes Ooma even more secure than the traditional landline.
