Customer Reviews

Mukesh A. Patel Said: Accessory for HUB ( Mar. 29th 2010 )

The Product was mistaken by me as HUB which is the heart of the Telephone line.
The Ooma Scout works as an extension for the existing wired telephone line in the house. This product is not worth buying if you have 4 or 6 handset Cordless phones in your house with one base unit and other extended handset.

J. A. Bailey Said: ooma scout ( Mar. 27th 2010 )

This item does not work without the hub (the largeer station). I tried to return it to the individual seller and he wouldn't take it back. Through talking w/Amazon, he credited me back what I paid and just told me to keep it. SO, I can't tell you if it really works!!

Tai M. Lynch Said: Ooma Scaout ( Mar. 22nd 2010 )

Ooma Scout did not work initially by plugging into other home phone outlets. Had to hard wire the Ooma Hub's wall connection to the Ooma Scout wall connection in order to get the Scout to work. Now that I've done this it works fine.

R. Iredale Said: Baffled at first ( Feb. 25th 2010 )

Wanted to get rid of the local phone company charges for our 2-line home setup. Bought the Telo at first, then quickly realized that it had only one dedicated line. Returned it and bought a Hub/Scout instead.

As an engineer, I thought this would be a snap, but I admit I was baffled at first by some of the diagrams and descriptions. All I wanted was a way to disconnect the regular phone lines and use Ooma instead. But some of the diagrams implied that I would need to buy a Scout for every phone in the house.

So now I figured it out. I pay $30/month for a DSL-only line to the house. That signal goes to an Actiontec M1000 modem, and an ethernet cable runs from it to a DLink Di-524 WiFi router. An ethernet cable runs from one of the ethernet ports to the Hub. The Scout is connected directly to the Hub with a short RJ11 cable via the "wall" ports on the backs of the Hub and Scout. Two phone lines come off the "phone" ports of the Hub and Scout and connect to the two phone lines already running throughout the house. Works great.

UPDATE 25 Feb 2010:
My two numbers ported over to Ooma earlier today. The landlines went dead for incoming calls this morning, and the numbers showed up on the Ooma boxes about 4 hours later. Voice quality is excellent, everything appears to be perfectly normal, and if it continues I'll be pocketing $60/mo, so breakeven in about 5 months, then gravy.

J. Bendrick Said: Scouts work great! ( Feb. 4th 2010 )

My 2 scouts work great! Look for my comments on Ooma under the Ooma Core reviews.
