I wanted to write up a quick update about our Ooma telephone. (To clarify: Ooma is just the brand of phone/provider we purchased. It just happens to be what we call it.) We have had this home phone since January 2021 and it's still working really well for us. We have two phone extensions and one base.
Here are some things that I love about the Ooma phone:
-I feel comfortable leaving Lydia or Austin home for short amounts of time knowing that they can call me if they need to - but that they don't have unsupervised access to a cell phone.
-My kids know how to call someone and how to answer the phone.
-My kids love calling the Haderlies and talking to them on the phone.
The last time I was at my Grandpa Walker's house, I snapped a picture of their home phone. This is an upgrade from the phone from when I was very young, but it's still full of childhood memories. I smile at the cord that attaches the handset to the base, the corkboard with hand-written phone numbers on it, and the notepad to the side with messages saved from decades-old phone calls.
I know that the Ooma phone is already outdated and that someday my kids will laugh about having a home phone. People may even laugh about having cell phones (are embedded chips in our future? yikes) - but for us right now, we are happy with this household solution we have found.
