This one time fee is $399, it includes the main "Hub" for your home that controls all the calls. The Hub looks like an answering machine but can do so much more. This service uses a broadband connection, sort of like Vonage and Skype, but unlike the other guys, the Ooma system uses your current regular phone system in your house with the addition of a $40 box called the "Scout" that goes in line just before your phone. These Scout boxes give you access to voicemail at any phone in the house.

Hub ------------------------------------------ Scout

With Ooma you can even hold two separate conversations with two different people. This feature works like call-waiting, except you can put one person on hold and call another while the first is on hold, or switch between the two calls, all just by pushing on the number pad on the first line or second line buttons.

So for most homes your look at around $500, but since that's a one time rate and you will get free calls anywhere in the us whenever you want... forever... you will easily recoup that money and it will start paying for itself in under 2 years even if you are paying as low as 20 bucks a month! So after 2 years, at the longest, you will be essentially making money off your investment.
