ooma Opens Up Pre-Sales

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, ooma Inc. announced the opening of pre-sales for the ooma Hub™ and ooma Scout™ in advance of the company’s consumer release, planned for September 2007. In an effort to satisfy overwhelming consumer demand generated from the White Rabbit BETA program, ooma is accepting orders, through telephone-based sales channels, from consumers interested in being the first to purchase and receive an ooma system. ooma is now accepting pre-sales orders via phone at 866-452-6662. Pre-sale order instructions are available at www.ooma.com/.

“We are energized by the consumer interest in ooma, and we are thrilled to begin taking pre-sale orders to ensure we stay on pace with the level of interest in the market.”

The pre-sale enables consumers to purchase an ooma system now, for first priority fulfillment next month when the company opens up sales from the ooma Web site (http://www.ooma.com).

Pre-sale ooma systems come with the same introductory pricing of $399 for each ooma Hub™. ooma Scout™ devices are $39 per unit. The ooma system pricing includes unlimited domestic long-distance calling, the ooma Instant Second Line™ and the ooma Broadband Answering Machine™ all with no additional monthly fees. In 2008, when the introductory pricing period expires, the ooma Hub™ device will carry a suggested retail price of $599.

Responding to Consumer Demand

The decision to open pre-sales for ooma systems came as a result of ooma CEO Andrew Frame’s desire to respond to consumer enthusiasm and demand. “Since announcing our White Rabbit BETA program, we have been contacted by tens of thousands of consumers who are passionately interested in experiencing ooma,” said Frame. “We are energized by the consumer interest in ooma, and we are thrilled to begin taking pre-sale orders to ensure we stay on pace with the level of interest in the market.”

The ooma Experience

An ooma system in your home includes the ooma Hub™ device attached to your broadband connection and your primary phone, and an ooma Scout™ device for each additional active phone extension you use in your house. For example, if customers use three active phone extensions with current landline phone service, ooma recommends one ooma Hub™ device, and two additional ooma Scout™ devices.

Each system comes with a suite of innovative features including:

ooma Dial Tone™ – a unique, refreshing dial tone that signifies unlimited domestic calling and low-cost international calling
Instant Second Line™ – provides consumers with two line functionality from a single phone number
Broadband Answering Machine™ – combines the power of voicemail with the ease-of-use of a traditional answering machine, and is accessible from anywhere including online through the ooma Lounge
