What is the Peer-to-Peer concept behind ooma?
ooma's call-routing algorithm, a/k/a the people-powered network, uses the Internet to connect local calling areas throughout the US for free instead of relying primarily on traditional phone switches, known as the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). ooma's call-routing technology ensures a completely transparent experience, so the ability to make and receive calls is not impacted when the line is in use by another ooma caller. Customers who purchase or subscribe to ooma Premier are automatically exempted from the people-powered network.
