2nd week of ooma phone. Not one glitch: no dropped calls, no error messages, no voice distortion, no screeches, etc. In fact, I would say the phone service has been perfect. I'm no shill for ooma. I had MJ for 15 months and I just got disgusted with all the problems that MJ had. The ultimate ...

I have been a long term user of MJ for the last 15 months. I have gone through the trials and tribulations of the MJ. It got so tiresome after awhile trying to get the "fix" of MJ working that I decided to abandon MJ and try Ooma. After two weeks with Ooma, there has not been one glitch or ...

I'm a long term MJ user and my experience with MJ has been marginal with the usual problems that many of us have gone through. I just installed a new replacement and the call quality is the worst of all the MJ's I have tried. The voice distortion in or out is so bad that the device is unusable. What ...

New problem
MJ won't boot. Outline of MJ appears with an error message in red: Storage is Broken. And that is as far as I can go. Tech chat as usual is useless. They did promise to send a replacement-that was a month ago and still no replacement.
Anyone else know about this, for me, new problem?

the voice saying to leave a message doesn't always come on and sometimes when it does come on there is a time delay that most callers will hang up thinking something is wrong with the call.

My one year contract is finished and I originally signed for a second year. But MJ is still plagued with problems on voice quality and I'm considering a change. Ooma has good reviews on Amazon and you can buy the box for less than $250.
Are there any opinions from the membership on Ooma?

There is a 20 second time delay before the operator voice goes through its message routine. Most callers will hang up thinking the call went dead.
