Review: It's really coming to T-mobile. I talked to a corp. store rep. It should be released in less than 30 days.

Review: Probably this "At-home" service will be the american version of DT's T-One.

Review: Four years ago I invented a service better and more profitable than the T Mobil's service and presented it to one of our conglomorate companies. My parent company barged in with their lawyers to reject the system and gag me. I will call my company the death star. Untill some future date the service capable of full convergence without multi lines using existing systems will not be seen by the consumer for another 4 years while the public is fleeced.

Review: I briefly worked at Vonage about a year ago and they were knocking around an idea of 'wifi phones'. I don't think it ever got off the ground there. I am glad to see someone is moving along with this innovative idea. I will make myself available to test this on the East Coast.

Review: I think this is an excellent idea and I am glad AT&T [with Cingular] is doing something like it. If I sign up to Mobile2Home I can call any Cingular customer for free as well as any landline phone that is with AT&T. Amazing!

Review: Remember, the article said this is a trial right now. What you want to do is wait for the trial to complete. If it is successful and they roll it out as a full product, then sign up--about four months after the roll out. That will give them time to work any initial bugs in the system.

Review: This is a great idea. It looks like things are continuing in the direction of cheaper and cheaper communications, which is a very good thing for us all. Too bad for Qwest though.

Review: Yet another case of "everything old is new again," although with slight variations. The local (to Beaverton, Oregon, at least) telehone company actually marketed a product similar to this about 15 years ago. I had one. It was a cellphone, but had a base station/charger unit that you connected to your landline and as long as you were within range (a couple of hundred feet, as I recall) it operated as a wireless extension. Once out of range of the base station it reverted to operating as a regular cellphone.

Review: Could this be a way to expand a celluar provider's area without putting up new towers? Seems like a possiblity to me. Even rob customers in different states and countries, just take your router with you.

Review: Yeah, Sprint should be coming out with such a same product that allows cellphone use while at home over broadband--that doesn't use any minutes! That rocks! WiFi router and WiFi enabled cell.
