Ooma would love for you to ditch your landline and go with their VoIP system, and to try to seal the deal they’re now allowing subscribers to use their cellphones and Bluetooth headsets with the Ooma system. The new Ooma Bluetooth Adapter slots into the Ooma Telo base-station and then you pair up to seven headsets or phones with it; when you get a call, every cellphone and headset rings, allowing you wireless freedom to take the call wherever you are in the house.
If you’ve already picked up Ooma’s dedicated handset then you can transfer calls between it and your cellphone/headset. You’ll need an Ooma Premiere account in order to buy and use it; that requires the $249.99 Ooma Telo and then either $9.99 per month or $119.99 per year.
We’ve a sneaking suspicion that this is just a regular compact USB Bluetooth dongle for which Ooma are charging $29.99, but without an Ooma system of our own it’s not something we can test out. Anyone out there using Ooma want to report back?
