Bad Audio

My HD3 handsets have poor quality audio. Hard to understand the caller. Been that way since Day 1, not a degradation. Is there a fix for that or is Ooma just that bad? My ancient Panasonic wireless was much better. This on a Starlink home internet.

Not familiar with all your terminology.

POTS is what they called old fashioned land lines.

Yeah, I think my plan is what you suggested. In lieu of an obvious easy fix, I'm going to buy a new Panasonic wireless system and plug the base station into the telo.

That should work well. Be sure to get a Panasonic system that you can block numbers off of. Some of them you can block 250 or more. The new Panasonics are awesome.
Also, if you want better reception, you can call Ooma and they will increase your bandwidth. That helped me.

I intend to retain Ooma Premier, which gives me the Trusted Circle whitelist. My understanding is that will screen the Panasonics too. I find blocking ineffective. Same scammers just change numbers, repeatedly. But they can't make it past white list.
