An Ooma Alternative From a Local Las Vegas Telephone Company
Keep the cloud features, get a phone company you can reach. Plans start at $15 per user per month with a term agreement, your 702 and 725 numbers port free, and we install on site across the Las Vegas valley.
Short answer: If you like Ooma’s cloud features but want a phone company you can reach directly, look at Las Vegas Telephones, the Las Vegas service of USPBX Communications, an FCC-licensed interconnect carrier on its own carrier platform. You still get auto-attendants, call queues, mobile and desktop apps, and business texting. Plans are as low as $15 per user per month with a term agreement, billed monthly. Our engineers are based in Las Vegas and install on site. Porting your existing numbers is always free.
Why businesses look for an Ooma alternative
Ooma Office is popular with small businesses because it is easy to start. When businesses outgrow it, the reasons are usually plan tiers and how much support they want. Here is what Ooma’s own business phone plans page showed when we checked on October 30, 2026:
- Ooma Office Essentials is listed at $19.95 per user per month, Pro at $24.95, and Pro Plus at $29.95. Enterprise is priced by quote. The page says “No Contract Necessary.”
- Some features depend on the plan. Call recording, the desktop app, and video meetings for up to 25 participants start on Pro. AI transcriptions, AI insights, CRM integration, call queuing, and hot desking are listed on Pro Plus.
- Business texting is capped by plan: up to 250 messages per month on Pro and up to 1,000 on Pro Plus. Extra messages are sold in bulk packages by quote.
- The AI Answering Service, AI Receptionist, and AI Productivity Agent Bundle are listed as add-ons on every plan.
- The page says “Applicable taxes and fees are not included.”

How switching from Ooma works
- Send us a recent Ooma bill and a list of your users and numbers.
- We map your call flows, auto-attendant, queues, and special lines such as fax and alarms.
- We set up your phones and apps ahead of time, then submit the number port.
- On port day we test inbound, outbound, 911 location, and voicemail with your staff, on site across the Las Vegas valley.
- Cancel Ooma only after every number shows as ported.
When Ooma may still be the better fit
Ooma Office has no contract, a quick self-install, and unlimited calling to Mexico and Puerto Rico as well as the US and Canada. If you are a very small office that wants to set everything up yourself, or you call Mexico often, it remains a strong option. Our advantage is a different one: a carrier that handles setup, porting, and support in person, with the advanced features included rather than tied to the top plan.
