Sounds crystal clear, better than any cell phone.
Let's be clear-that OOMA, Vonage, Magic Jack,etc., are all VOIP (Internet) you lose power you lose your phone.(Some modems have a very short battery backup) Many recommended for anybody in fragile health to have a good old fashion landline (from a telcom) in cases of emergency and then a cell phone.
