Illinois home phone service FAQs
What does Ooma offer that I can’t get from a landline?
Many individuals are looking to residential VoIP options like Ooma as a landline alternative. Even with the rise of mobile use, millions of Americans still want to keep a home VoIP phone for several reasons. Here are a few common ones:

Is Ooma compatible with Starlink?
Yes. Ooma’s VoIP service has been tested to show no connectivity problems when customers use Starlink as their internet service provider.
Can you still get a landline in Illinois?
Yes, you can still get a landline in Illinois. However, landline phone service monthly rates can be expensive, due to a combination of old, expensive-to-maintain copper infrastructure and providers turning toward new technologies like VoIP. You can save thousands per year by switching to VoIP for your home phone service. Ooma home phone service lets you make unlimited nationwide calls for free; all you pay are applicable taxes and fees.
Can I keep my phone number in Illinois?
Yes! Keeping your old phone number is easy with Ooma. All you have to do is log in to your My Ooma account, navigate to the Add-Ons tab and select the Number Port option. You’ll next have to provide some information, including the number you want to port, the type of phone number it is and the type of internet service you have. Next, you’ll need to fill out an online Letter of Authorization (LOA) form, which lets Ooma begin the number porting process from your old service provider. There are some things to keep in mind before you port: Do not cancel your old phone service before your number is ported. If you do, your old provider could put your phone number back into the pool of available numbers before Ooma has a chance to transfer it. Number porting with Ooma has a one-time fee of $39.99. However, this fee is waived if you subscribe to one year of Ooma Premier service. Ooma Premier is $9.99 a month and comes with advanced features like Enhanced Caller ID and the ability to block telemarketers, robocalls and spammers. Note: Porting phone numbers from area codes in Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico has an annual charge of $29.99 per year. This annual fee is waived for Ooma Premier members.
Can you use 911 without a landline?
Yes! You can still use 911 without a landline. Using 911 with Ooma is easy. When you register your Ooma Telo device, you must provide a valid street address. This location is used as your service address, so if you dial 911 emergency response professionals will be able to locate you. It’s important to keep your service address updated if you move so that emergency personnel can quickly reach your location if needed.
