<p>Too bad Verizon got rid of Call Intercept. It was only 7.00 a month, but your phone didn’t even ring, the call went to a service where they had to ID themselves, and then you would get a call and you could reject the call without the caller knowing. You also could put an unlimited amount of numbers on the reject call list.</p>
<p>We’ve had Ooma for about 7 months and I LOVE IT!! When I get a robo call, I go online to my Ooma account, find the call, and with one click I send all future calls for that number to voice mail. We have a home security system and that was easily adapted to the internet phone system for no cost (except continuing the home security contract for two more years). If we ever had a power outage we have our cell phones, and some of our neighbors have land lines, so I’m not looking back. All pluses to report from here on VOIP.</p>
<p>I am going to look into Ooma, yalemom. I work at home, and the robocalls and marketing calls interrupt me several times a day. Verizon is not interested in doing anything about it, either for the landline or for wireless. For wireless, they allow up to 5 numbers at a time to be blocked - is that ridiculous or what?</p>
<p>We have had Tmobile At Home Voip service for years. Unlimited calling anywhere in the continental US for $10 per month. The number is our former land line number, so people can still get in touch with us. It does go out when the electricity or internet goes, but the call quality is MUCH better than cell service here, which is iffy. Unfortunately, I don’t think they offer it any more,. We are grandfathered, IIRC. Sounds like Ooma is something similar.</p>
