Hi,
I am trying to help my parents curb telco expenses. They are currently spending $65-70/month on Verizon service for landline only. We already have a decent cable internet connection (ADSL is atrocious) and there is no Verizon Fiber in sight so it does not make sense to bundle services.
I would like to port their number to a VOIP provider where they can use the line to receive calls and make any calls locally and domestically.
Two products that I have identified that seemed to work well
1.
Ooma Telo Free Home Phone service
2.
OBi 100 VoIP Telephone adapter
The requirements for the above are:
1. Seamless integration to the existing cordless phones in the house
2. Easy installation - I am located abroad so I will need to help them set this up remotely (e.g. Logmein)
In addition to the above we need a decent SIP / VOIP provider. The requirements for this are:
1. Ability to port the existing number
2. Good quality of service
3. Inclusive US and Canada domestic calls
Any experiences to the above would be helpful.
Many thanks!
