Looking to an alternative to that Skype VoIP service? How about a VoIP phone that will let you talk for ages in the USA without any single few? That’s the Ooma Core phone I am talking about which is already available for around $250. It might seem like a lot but since you won’t be charged any monthly fees, you can consider it a great deal. After buying it you can choose the number and the area code and you can even get services like caller ID and call waiting. If landlines are slowly dying, then there’s no reason for not getting a VoIP phone installed in your house.

It looks like Ooma has been waiting for CES 2009 to launch its latest VoIP phone, the Telo.

The Telo will get you free VoIP calls in the USA over the Internet. The new handset will get you that high-def DECT 6.0 voice you were looking for. There’s also a phonebook available, mobile transfer, speaker phone and various musical ringtones. The kit can be extended to six handset and there might even be support for an answering machine. Your cell phone will also be integrated in the mix as the Telo “helps combine the home phone and cell phone so you can enjoy the benefits of both without any compromises.”

We’ll be waiting for the release date and pricing but so far Telo sounds a pretty good VoIP alternative.
