| Comparable to Vonage?
For those of you who use it already, would it be comparable to Vonage and the likes of VoIP companies?
That's who I have now and though I'm ok with the service I don't mind switching over and trying the T-mobile service.
Also, does it require me buying a special phone- handset- from Tmobile?
Any thoughts? |

You do NOT have to have a special phone, but do have to have the "Talk Forever Home Phone" router since this service still requires SIM cards for account details (Billing, Provisioning, etc)

I Play WoW. I Work for T-Mobile (and everything I say or do here does not reflect on them). I hate drama. That about covers it. |

Any thoughts? It's comparable to Vonage but it's always dependent on how your computer connects to their service (Vonage or T-Mobile).
You can use any phone you want. It has 2 RJ-11 outlets (if it's the same one I've already seen in the news) and you need a SIM card for each outlet. Once the SIM card is installed, it doesn't care what kind of RJ-11 phone you plug into it.
Question: Does it fall over to the T-Mobile cellular network if wireless goes down? I had been led to believe it would from earlier news reports about this product. |
