Why do the cell phone companies want to charge me 15.00 per month to use my hi speed connection? So the customer has to pay extra because they have poor coverage? Am I missing something?
Yes you are missing something. This device gives any Sprint customer (not just those with a "special" wifi phone as Tmobile does), the ability to make unlimited calls while within range of the device. If you are the type of person who works from home, or makes a lot of calls from home than this is ideal. You certainly arent going to get unlimited calls to anywhere in the US from your local telephone company for $15 a month, and this is potentially easier for some people than dealing with VoIP. If you happen to be a Sprint customer (perhaps your company requires it, or you get a deal, etc) but dont have good coverage at home then this is also good for you. Furthermore, some people live/work in buildings that prevent cell signals from reaching them (ie ME), so something like this would be a godsend.
I agree. I would like Verizon to offer this so that cell phone coverage in my house, which is marginal, would be much better. I could then drop landline service all together.

It looks like you can simply buy one of these for $50 and not sign up for a plan if you are so inclined. If your existing plan gives you enough minutes (and you dont need the $15 add on plan), then this would be a great way of giving you full coverage at your house (assuming you had Sprint of course!).
