Re: Not Sprint, no sir! Oh good. Thanks.
So then isn't "Sprint, however, seems to be defying industry expectations for the service, charging customers both for the femtocell and the service, effectively asking subscribers to subsidize the cost of expanding network coverage." a big fat load of hooey?

You have the OPTION to secure the device. The unit itself supports up to three calls at the same time. If you login into your Sprint account, you can add phones which are allowed to use your Airave device. All others will be denied. I do not live in a very populated area so I do not bother to lock mine down. One problem though is, if you lock the device down, for only a couple of phones and someone else comes wondering along and tries to use there own Sprint phone, they are denied the ability to make a call and will receive a message on there phone that they are on a restricted network and to move away from it. This is a huge problem for those in an urban area or apartment building since you effectively have a "legal" cell phone jammer. Lets hope a firmware update in the future fixes this.

That is a major flaw. See that's because they probably write lousy Methods & Procedures for their services.
Bad product Development. Really. |
