It is not true. It is based on claims to be doing things that are impossible, like preventing someone from listening in on your call when it goes through their hub and their phone line. Also, the claim that someone else using your phone line does not prevent you from using it. There can only be one active call on a regular phone line at one time. Sorry, OOM is based on a series of lies (or, worse yet, they aren't technically "lies" because the OOMA folks don't even know they are wrong). OOMA sounds too good to be true. It is not true.
