That's true -- I forgot to mention taxes.

Unless you have an old OOMA account or bought a refurbished OOMA system that does not have taxes added. I just bought 2 refurbished once in a past 3 month and no taxes are added. Now, at anytime, I can still upgrade to their newer system (if I will ever need it) and still do not pay taxes and fees. This has been confirmed with OOAMA CS on several occasions.

Yes I have a couple of the original HuB oomas which don't have any fees at all. As for getting used or refurbished older oomas be careful. A used and deactivated older hub ooma MigHT have a new reactivation fee from ooma which is 75$ AND one would still have to pay the taxes and fees. It is a bit of a crap shoot at the moment when buying the older hardware. Some have reported getting original oomas refurbished that have no fees, others that r required to pay activation fees and still others which pay fees..

As for the option for a CURRENT hub owner-fee less to buy a new Telo hub and pay NO FEES that is news to me. My understanding of the fee requirement is that it is based on the device ID and not the customers account or grandfathering. I would certainly buy a telo to add to my setup but have always been told by ooma that they do require additional fees. Not a HUGE deal but I don't really need it anyway..

Has anyone tried MagicJack Plus? This newer version does not require a computer ad runs off your wireless network. I am trying to determine whether you need to plug MagicJack into your router (I don't see a USB port on mine) or whether you can simply plug MagicJack into the wall and it will find the wireless signal (like all my other devices do). Same question for Ooma.

I have both a MagicJack Plus and an Ooma. Both need to be connected to the router -- neither is a WiFi device. The MagicJack Plus has a USB port and an RJ45 jack. You can use the Plus like the older MagicJack and plug it in to a computer using the USB port (you have to do this to activate it). However, you can also use the RJ45 to go directly to the router (or, I suppose, a switch or access point), in which case the USB port is plugged into a wall wart and supplies power to the device.

The Ooma doesn't need to be activated by plugging it into a USB port. As I recall (it's been a while since I first got mine), a computer does need to connect directly to the Ooma to set it up (there are two RJ45 jacks -- there are a couple of ways to configure an Ooma as it can function like a DHCP server, or simply as a network device). If you pay for premium service, you can also get a Bluetooth adapter (it only works with the one provided by Ooma) which plugs into a USB port on the Ooma device and will let you pair your cellphones so that they ring through the Ooma system, and you can use your Ooma phones to answer cellphone calls.
