While the most recent post link may be construed as advertising, it can be perceived as "sharing information" in the correct discussion forum. Ooma is a legitimate program, and the program (or the equipment used for the program) was available in the local Costco warehouse store.

I'm not saying that the topic (to which bytebug linked) shouldn't be locked or deleted, just that the Ooma program is something legitimate. That said, I have no idea about the program, how it works, what it costs, it's quality or value; just that Costco sold it.

bytebug has found that a new topic with the same name has to be started for each instance, since the moderators tend to lock a topic once it's been answered.

They got the message BB. All three posts have been removed so don’t bother clicking on the links to see what they lead to. Nothing!
