"...You(r) calls are channeled through other ooma hubs (to their landlines)...
Since ooma uses P2P technology for call termination, users are more exposed to potential security risks"...

"Just a FYI -- ooma is not routing calls over other user's landlines (e.g. Distributed Termination).
Any mention of this was removed from the user T&C's and the ooma website from the website a few months ago.
The original intent of this "people-powered" network was to save costs with calling.
Unfortunately it lent itself to be a poor user experience due to the fact we needed to block the outgoing caller-ID (e.g. a call going over another user's landline would show as "unknown" as the caller-ID instead of the caller's true name).
Also, our business plan went through a couple revisions last year (starting with separating out enhanced features -- ooma Premier -- from the core service features and further recognizing calling economies of scale).
As a result, we are able to continue to offer free phone service as a sustainable and scalable business."
