"Free, VoIP calls over the Internet across the US"? Does this mean "Free VoIP calls" or "Free VoIP to a PSTN gateway that allows free calls to US numbers"?<br><br>If the latter, I wonder how they'd pay for it. If the former, well, yeah, nice to have but one hopes they at least are supporting open standards so you're not limited to calls to other Oomas owners.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[squiggleslash]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 10:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ooma's Telo steps up to DECT 6.0 for free calls across the US]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/oomas-telo-steps-up-to-dect-6-0-still-free-calls-in-the-us/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/oomas-telo-steps-up-to-dect-6-0-still-free-calls-in-the-us/</guid><description><![CDATA["How does Ooma make money? Well, of course we make some money by selling you this device and the services that come with it. And if that's where our little relationship ends, we'll be just fine with that.

It's way sexier, more competitive with the Verizon hub, and more user-friendly (from what I can see by not forcing someone to be a Verizon customer in order to take advantage of the offering). I too considered the big, bulky, white box via Amazon... I too will wait for this setup. I really didn't like the old-school method of plugging a phone into a separate box (remember answering machines? LOL)... This is all built-in; I'm psyched. I also like the cell integration possibilities.<br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Krysia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 26th 2009 10:39AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
