Re: Are you kidding me?

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!
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).

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.
