i see a great second use for this, using it to provide cell service at houses that don't have coverage [which with Sprint, happens all too often]

Alexandria, VA | I wonder if they will allow other cellphns in the area to connect to your antenna. and that way they could effectively extend their coverage on your $$$. |

So... just making sure I read this right.
They use your connection (and your broadband provider's) to provide you service you should be getting... Ok, let's say "make it work better" in your house.
OK, I can see that... but they charge you $15 for it.
"Yeah I have a comment..... What?!?"

I believe you have to 'register' your phone(s) with the device before you can use it to make calls. |

It's not mainly to let it work better, but rather that you don't use your minutes when you're at home. Basically, you get unlimited use of your cell phone in the vicinity of your home since you are mainly riding over your broadband connection and not Sprints. Bad service in your home? Then perhaps this could also help resolve that problem... When they say "free," they don't mean 100% free, but rather that you are paying a privilege fee since they are losing your usage of all those minutes at home. For some people, perhaps they use their phone in one location 90% of the time and this could SERIOUSLY save money.

Ok I get it now... Yeah...
You could ditch your POTS line, and keep a fairly minimal minutes plan, because most your calls are made from the home. |

This kills it
Does a wireless call that starts outside of my home transfer to the Sprint AIRAVE coverage area when I arrive home?
Calls made outside the AIRAVE coverage area are not transferred to the AIRAVE device even though you may be within the coverage area. If you wish to take advantage of the unlimited calling feature of AIRAVE, you must end the call that was placed outside of the coverage area and initiate a new call on the AIRAVE device. |

Re: nice
Why in the world would someone pay $15 a month for it? When you can get SKYPE (I paid Jan 3rd 2007 $14.95 for a YEAR) now its $29 a year. You can call anywhere in the USA, Canada and Mexico unlimited. Or 2.4 cents a min to the UK and abroad. If you want a phone number for people to call in, its another $30 a year. So total $60 a YEAR unlimited calling. I dont use the skype call in number as I have free incoming calls on my sprint/nextel cell phone.
I purchased a cordless/wireless linksys phone that is hooked to my computer. I can use anywhere on my property unlike my land Line phone I couldnt walk out to the road. It runs off my broadband connection also.
MUCH cheaper than Sprint....but isnt everything? LOL |
