I'm very happy with my Ooma service. I purchased the legacy hardware which has rumors of free service. Otherwise for basic service you just pay the taxes, which should be approx $12/yr.
The hardware buy in is more $200-$250. Amazon or buy.com often have refurb units for $150. When I say legacy, I mean the Ooma vs. Ooma Telo. There is a $40 one time fee to port you existing number over. They will give you a temporary number to start off. I have not had time to diagnose, but faxing for me seems to have spotty quality.
