What is Difference between ooma Bluetooth adapter and any other Bluetooth adapter?
1774084
I tried a spare generic Bluetooth adapter, that I had lying around, on my Ooma and it didn't work (works fine on my PC, so it's not a hardware failure). According to the Ooma user forums, they've apparently changed their firmware to only work with the Ooma-branded adapter. Costs more than a generic, but the company makes money from hardware sales and optional services, not the basic phone service, so I can't begrudge them the sale.

This one says "ooma" on it. I purchased a generic Bluetooth adapter for my Ooma and my headset paired perfectly.

Not sure about the compatibility, however, I had ordered a new Voyager 520 and it did not work. I called Plantronics directly and they said it was discontinued. After reading some reviews on other Bluetooth, I ordered the Plantronics M50. Smaller than the 520, smaller ear piece which is good, and very clear in hearing the other person. You can also get voice directions from maps app, which is great. If there is any negative, it is the fact that it must use your phone as a hot spot and really drains the battery. Other than that, a good unit and very reasonably priced.

I had the best success by connecting the Ooma to the port on the wireless router. At first, I connected my Ooma to the cable modem and connected the wireless router into the port on the Ooma but we'd loose connection on our devices when a call came in. Definitely connect your Ooma to the wireless router assuming you have one.

You need wire adapters. Blue tooth is better. However is skip this all together. Cheap but sound quality is poor, blue tooth not consistent.

I have a Win 7 laptop, and it does not support direct Bluetooth connection, so I must use a Bluetooth adapter. I ordered a Kinivo USB Bluetooth adapter with the headset. My wife has a Win 8 laptop, and it also does not support direct Bluetooth connection, so the adapter is needed for her laptop also. The pairing procedure may differ for various devices, but basically you'll need to press and hold the power button for a few seconds after you hear "power on" over the headphones. You should hear "pairing", and you'll need to select the device in your Bluetooth section on the laptop. It should be listed as "AF52".

Big difference is MJ requires you th have a PC turned on so you can plug their device into a USB port. Ooma is directly hooked into your internet connection--so your phone is always on whether or not your PC is. BIG difference!

Good Q! I can't say with any certainty, however I'd guess so. Best to check the Ooma support site.

NO. After reading numerous reviews of remote not working I had to try myself. MISTAKE. Doesn't work. I sent back. I need remote that does work. Blue tooth doesn't work which I bought from Ooma. Didn't work.I don't utilize my ooma as much as I would like due to remotes not working. I have to sit at landline in order for ooma to work.

The functionality is the same. It works just fine. Only problem I have is the adapter has a stronger connection to the iPhone than the 30 pin on the alarm clock. So when I take it off from charging, I usually have an iPhone with an adapter attached. A mild annoyance IMO.

This is sort of like an extension phone for another room in the house. You need to have the base station to make it work like the model #6419 or #6429. You plug the base station into the Ooma, and it will work.

I have not paired my Ooma with anything as of yet but my best advice is to call Ooma customer service...I have found them to be extremely helpful with all things to do with my Ooma...no matter what the problem, they always have the answers and talk me through the process. Good luck!

I actually had real issues with mine. Not sure if it was just a bad unit or what, but replaced it with this one: ORICO BTA-402 USB Bluetooth 4.0 Micro Adapter Dongle Mini Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter Dongle With CSR8510 Controller and CSR Harmony for Windows XP Vista 2003 2008 7 and 8 32 or 64 Bit - Black which has the same chipset and features, and it works like a champ!
