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.
