How to Activate an Ooma Device Online

Ooma, Inc., or simply Ooma, is known for providing communication services such as VoIP calling for business, residence, and smartphone users, and has been named one of Silicon Valley Business Journal’s fastest-growing private companies. It is located in Silicon Valley. You must first activate your Ooma account if you have a new Ooma Telo device. Online activation is available at ooma.com/activate. It would take 5–10 minutes to complete the process. You’ll pick your phone number, set up your 911 service, and create your My Ooma account during activation.

What Do You need To Have Your Account Activated?

When you start the account activation process, you’ll need to have the following items on hand. You won’t be able to finish activating your account if you don’t have all of these things, so plan ahead of time.

• Your Ooma system (unplugged)
• A valid credit or debit card issued in the United States or Canada
• A legal address in the United States or Canada

Keep in mind that the credit card and address you use must be from the same country as the Ooma system you purchased.

That’s what you’ll need to get started! Check that the activation code is visible on the device’s bottom.  If you haven’t already done so, unplug your Ooma for the duration of the activation process.

Why Do You Have To Provide A Credit Card While Creating An Account?

The activation procedure involves a valid credit or debit card from the United States or Canada to connect to my Ooma, your online account. You won’t have to think about any hidden payments or costs with Ooma. During the activation process, you’ll find out how high your local taxes and fees will be each month. If you sign up for extra Ooma facilities, that’s what you’ll have to pay.
