I have had nothing but trouble from Comcast. When we first signed up my 84 year old mother was only charged $20 a month for her phone service which was great! I had to add internet for a few months to use a canary to see how she was getting around in her apartment. They signed us up for another contract without telling us and then when I took the internet off her phone bill was $60 a month! She is on a fixed income and cannot afford this phone bill. After calling and talking with several people no one would reduce her payment back to the original $20. I found a wireless router through straight talk and you can still use your home phone and it is only $15 a month. If you have any other sources to use please use someone else besides Comcast. They would not even import her phone number over and we had to change her phone number!!
Last night, 5/31/2018 my wife recorded the NBA Playoff 1st game of the series because I work third shift. When I got home this morning. The game was taken from my DVR Comcast/Xfinity list. DELETED!!!!!! I am so pissed because that is one reason that we purchased this option! This is not the first time. There has college and NFL football games. There has been college and NBA games and other programs. Comcast acts as they are GOD by with the simple thing as a click of a button they can make that decision and it's wrong. Just plain wrong!!! STOP IT!!!! Again, that's what we pay for. We don't want and shouldn't have to watch a rerun or replay! Whatever you choose to call it.
I went over to Ooma's "basic" service In January of 2020. While generally pleased with their service, I recently decided to change over to Unbquiti's "Talk" VOIP. When I joined Ooma, porting to them was accomplished in under 24 hours. Porting out has been a nightmare. As per FCC's website: How long does the porting process last? FCC rules require simple ports, which generally do not involve more than one line or more complex adjustments to telephone switching equipment, to be processed in one business day. You may be able to use your phone within a few hours for changes among wireless service providers. However, porting from wireline to wireless service may still take a few days. It's been two weeks. Today (Oct 26) their offshore "support" told me they rejected the porting request on Oct. 23 (eleven days after the request) because the new provider made multiple requests on the same day. Bull, and they admitted to taking eleven days to make the rejection. I told them I was confirming that the porting request was legitimate but she said they would not accept that, as all the requests must come from the new provider. Like other reviewers, Ooma is OK until you have an issue. I've filed an FCC online complaint, but it looks like I need to start from scratch. Beware.
This is a great little drive that has saved me a time of money over the years. You can use it with or without a phone you can use the app. I have saved thousands over the years and yes some employers still require you to have a landline and this fits that need perfect.
