Re: TMobile@Home Review I just set my new T-Mobile @ home up today. Set up was easy, just used their CD, no problems. Several times it mentions to NOT use 2.4 Ghz phones, which is what we have and we love them. We have Uniden DCT-648-2 with 4 handsets. We set it up w/o a problem with these phones. I assume they suggest to not use a 2.4 Ghz for interference, but that is going to be on a case by case basis. The quality seems to be good and we don't have any interference. I wanted to try it before buying new phones. For now, we'll stick with these ones.
When we have a voicemail, when we turn on the phone, it kind of beeps before giving us a dial tone, that tells us we have a voicemail. So we don't have to go downstairs to check the router all the time. But still, a voicemail light would be nice.
The caller ID isn't working properly. When we get a call it shows the name/number of the person but the date shows 0/0 and the time shows 12:00 am every time. Not sure if this is a setting that I can set up or because my phones are old or what.
Overall, pleased so far. Anyone else have the caller ID problems? |

the date shows 0/0 and the time shows 12:00 am every time. I'm not familiar with your router, but it probably supplies the date and time. You might check whether you can specify a time server for the router to use.

Could you tell me what *outbound* caller ID name shows up on the other end when you call a landline? Do the call recipients see "T-Mobile" or "Wireless Caller" or something like that, or do they see your name?
Thanks in advance |

Thank you, this worked, I went into the router IP address and it had the wrong time zone for me, switched that, rebooted the router and it has been working now. |

| If I wanted four phone lines via @Home- I would need to get two of the T-Mobile routers and four sims, correct? Any possible conflicts between the two routers and four sims being on one broadband line? I wouldn't think so but I want to make sure. |

But these T-Mobile devices are not just adapters, they are also routers. We need to think through how to configure this system before you place an order.
Would someone familiar with T-Mobile routers like to volunteer for this assignment?

In my case, people receiving a call from my T-Mobile@Home number see my full name, as it shows on my T-Mobile account. I believe you may be able to change this also. In the past, when I called T-mobile about my 3 cellphone lines, they asked me how I wanted the Caller ID info to appear when I made calls, and I was able to specify unique names for each of the 3 lines, exactly as I wanted them to appear.
My guess is that you can do this too with the T-Mobile@Home line. I suggest calling Customer Care to see if they can take care of this.
