Infomercials always look so good to me, but I am such a skeptic. Love watching these products tested and getting the more realistic scoop

Comment on:
/Ooma Telo

That's annoying that you had to use the Telo handsets.

I think if you have home distribution set up, you do not need to use the telo handsets. However, that is not so simple for everyone to do - you need to then either disconnect your landline (from phone company) or have home phoen wiring that uses "two pairs cabling". They have info on their web site.

I also thought - before reading this - that it would be easy to get all these features without having to purchase a special handset. There is always a catch.

Thanks for the info! I think its a very helpful addition :)

Answer to: How do these products work with fax machines
/Magic Jack Vs. Ooma Telo

I think with mixed results...

Officially, the Magic Jack does not work with fax machines... but they do say in their FAQ that you can try turning off error correction and setting the fax machine to the slowest speed and testing until you find a speed that works. Some people are able to get it to work. Some aren't. I know some people have luck with a DSL filter.

With the Ooma, some people say that typing *99 first helps. You can check out the following thread on the Ooma and fax machines.

http://www.ooma.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=114

Also - with the Ooma - you can keep a cheap phone line and use it side-by-side with the Ooma in case your fax machine wont work with the Ooma directly. I guess you could do the same for the magic jack.

Good luck! And don't forget to come back and leave a review if you can / can't get it working!
