Re: [Femtocell] The Beginning of the End of Residential VOIP

You aren't limited to one handset if it is driving your home wired analog phones. That handset becomes your access point for the entire home.

Some cell phone companies will be concerned about the potential for this competing with land line business, others won't.

It seems as if $25-35 a month is the high price point for unlimited calling via VOIP or alternatives such as Femtocell.

In my case, I've got a nice price from Future-Nine and great VOIP service at a bit over $11 per month. That is tough to beat, even for Sprint.

Now, if I call Sprint retentions and complain about poor signal strength, and they offer me a free Femtocell ... that could change the game a bit.

Vonage, Packet 8, and basically any VSP that's been concentrating on brand at higher prices is probably going to see some line loss out of this (although this by itself won't kill them).

Smaller providers are probably not going to be affected too much. BYOD crowd is not likely to throw away their adapters anytime soon, and like you said - even with femtocells it's hard to beat $11 a month.

I complained to retentions and received the equipment and service for free. They also threw in 3 months of unlimited calling, after that it would be just a repeater unless I wanted to pay $15 a month for service.
