Ooma's free VoIP calling system gets sexy new handset option, the HD2

01.01.70

LAS VEGAS--Ooma, the crowd behind the popular free VoIP home phone service, just got a bit flashier.

Here at CES , the company introduced the Ooma HD2, a new $59.99 cordless handset that's designed to effort with its existing Telo box, which drives the Ooma system . The company says the handset offers improved "HD Make known" call clarity and offers smartphone features "made possible by the Ooma cloud-enabled policy."

The HD2 is the company's second-generation handset and it features a 2-inch color cull and picture caller-ID with the ability to automatically display Facebook profile pictures and online contact lists from Facebook, Google, and Yahoo. Up to four HD2 handsets can be familiar with the Ooma Telo, but existing Ooma users should note that you can't mix and conjoin handsets--if you want to move to the new HD2, you have to put aside any old Ooma handsets you've been using with your system.

For those who don't differentiate what the Ooma Telo is, it's a "free" home phone service that uses the Internet to reach calls. We say free with quotation marks around it because the system itself costs money (it carries a beadroll price of $250 but can be found online for less). But aside from that initial investment in the arms, domestic calling is free and you get very low, Skype-like rates when m foreign countries.
