OOMA half-truths

Ooma continues to mislead the consumer by claims that are, maybe, half true. For example, their web site states:

"Most phone companies charge an extra monthly fee to let you see who's calling. Not ooma. If your phone has a caller-ID display, we'll enable this premium feature!"

In fact, you pay the phone company to send the calling-ID data through the phone line to your phone. There is nothing that Ooma can be to "enable" this feature, unless you pay the phone company, since the phone company does not send that data for free. What they are talking about may be the display of data for an Ooma to Ooma subscriber call, which must amount to a small fraction of a person's total calls.
