ooma, the VoIP device manufacturer, has released its Telo VoIP device product in retail locations and on the company's website. The Telo, which will list for $249.99 and will enable free domestic calling after purchase, was slated to be launched in Q2 after the product was announced at the CES trade show in Las Vegas in January. Design modifications and other issues led the launch to be delayed until now.
The company is slated to add Bluetooth capability to the device eventually, and Telo handsets will be available for $49.99 each by November, according to ooma CMO Rich Buchanan. The company also offers a premium feature package for $9.99 per month, in an additional monetization strategy.
