Are you kidding me? in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20095445 en Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:38:18 EDT Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:38:18 EDT Re: Are you kidding me? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20122779 Akademiks : But how would someone get charged when it is unlimited talk time through the device, if anything it would eat their bandwidth.

I feel its up to me to keep track and report someone using my phone and lock down my internet connection also if they want to hack me that bad and have those types of skills I don't think it'll matter if I have that device or not they will just screw me one way or another, I can just track and protect myself as best as possible.

FACT: Hackers can easily hack into almost ANY cellphone that is close enough. Getting through any security in this box would give them direct access to your phone. I have seen someone do it myself besides all those videos you see of people on rooftops hacking peoples phones below.

NO THANKS!

Hell yeah. Why should I have 5, 10, 30, 100 sucking my broadband connection with Voice and 3G until I get a call from the ISP's security dept that I am being terminated for overusage?
"In the sprint box (not sure about others) it lets the customer configure up to 10 DID's to use with the box if the telephone number is not programed then the neighbors can't use it. Also since it uses the internet the voice quality will be as good as your ISP connection is (not sure which codec it uses yet as that matters as well)."

In Short - If you add all of your neighbors phone numbers to your box that is the customers fault not Sprint's.

Cellphones with wifi are fine, femtocells aren't unless they are on dedicated backhauls. Perhaps Sprint should have a website where you can volunteer your house/apt/location for one. They pay for the SDSL/T1 line to run it, that way everyone can use it, and it won't bog down my line, maybe Sprint can give a $10 credit each month for having a femtocell on your property.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20097395 Sun, 02 Mar 2008 21:59:23 EDT Re: Are you kidding me? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20095740 Akademiks :

No wonder I never heard of this technolgy, it's a rip off! You are telling me that I will have to pay (most likely a monthly fee) to get some ugly humming box put in my house that will hijack my internet connection all to get slightly better cell phone coverage at home? Not my mention the neighbor who is close enough to jack in too? Hell why not put it on the outside and let my whole neighborhood hijack (and possibly create security holes in) my internet connection for their phone calls?

The only way I would use this is if the wireless phone company PAID ME to provide better coverage in my neighborhood.

This is the biggest phone company ripoff I have seen in a while!

I think its good option other than the unlimited plan or if you don't get good reception inside of your house (and works everywhere else) but you will need to have a good stable Internet connection (just like with other VoIP providers).

Most providers will start moving over to either Femtocell, WiFi or WiMax (voice services) bundled in with the phones as it saves the carriers money and will allow customers unlimited talk time through the Internet.
