Of course Ooma will not work during internet or power outages, but maybe that doesn't really matter.
I have Ooma and like it a lot. It works fine during power outages if you have a UPS. You can set it up to automatically forward to your cell phone if your internet goes out. It's no big deal.
My Ooma Telo system is fantastic but, I think the Ooma Telo Handset is junk. I use Panasonic Dect-6+ phones with the Ooma and that combo is nice. It's hooked to a Comcast "Performance" 12/2 line and uses virtually no bandwidth.

We ditched our AT&T landline and use the Ooma Telo exclusively.
