In reply to the discussion: I'm about to blow my lid. Phone calls for Medicare supplemental insurance are driving me insane. [View all]SeattleVet
(5,477 posts)14. We *love* our Ooma system. Have had it for 8 years now.
We ported our number so it's the same that we've had for 30+ years.
We pay the extra few dollars per month for the 'premiere' service, which includes an excellent array of junk-call blocking features. Besides a personal blacklist they have a 'community blacklist' - if enough people block the number, it i automatically blocked for everyone that uses this feature - and they have a hook into the NoMoRobo robo-call blocking service.
We have gone from 5 or 10 scammer calls week to maybe 3 a month. Worth every penny just for that feature!
We use the forwarding feature so that we can receive calls to the home phone on our cells when we're out and about. It rings through to us on the Ooma app.

If they're legitimate companies, they won't call if you have a DO NOT CALL registration...

Also, if they are legit, they won't be spoofing other people's phone numbers.

I keep them on the phone for a few minutes and then say, call again so I can waste more of your time
