Re: Sprint beat you to it!
That business about the system being open to other users by default probably means that unless you restrict it to your cell phone only, then the traffic from other users would be attributed to your account and, if there is a cap, would count against that, too. Smart users ought to restrict the devices to their cell phones just on general principle. |

From what I understand, even if you have restrictions set up, 911 calls will still be allowed regardless of who is trying.

you can get unlimited access to any Sprint Femtocell deployed for $10/ mo for an individual, $20/ family. This does not apply to any Sprint cap (this does not travel over the Mobile Broadband card), but will take up some bandwidth for the High Speed Internet provider. more details on the Sprint website www.sprint.com/airave.
I also have an Airave and RR Turbo. It works fine but the first version had some issues. I have about 1 dropped call per month and do a lot of mobile calls out of my home.
The 911 issue would only occur if the caller was in a nearby home. Still, unless the caller cannot talk, the physical address should be validated and this is more precise than some/ most of the triangulation techniques today.
Best kept secret at Sprint. Wish they marketed it as the "best d--- in home network. Period." |

Paying $10 a month does not give you "Airave Access" for any Airave out in the field. The Airave acts as a cell tower and will allow any sprint customer to use it if they are in range, and you have not locked yours down. If just a regular Sprint user came over your house and made a call through your Airave, the minutes would get deducted from that persons OWN minute allowance.
