Re: I must be missing something... said by openbox9:said by MASantangelo:They get you for the phone and the service, the service is crappy at your house, they won't expand the signal to cover you, but hey look we have this $250 box that will allow you to use your phone! Don't forget that you have to pay for a connection to the Internet to offload traffic from VZW's network to your ISP's network. VZW should pay you for sparing their bandwidth. You're just offloading it from their wireless network to their wired network. |

Except that I do have a cellphone from VZW, but I don't have a landline from VZ. My ISP is backed up by AT&T, so I would be helping Verizon quite a bit by paying them extra and offloading my phone calls from their network. |

You're not offloading your entire call from their network. They are still responsible for call termination so only part of your call traverses your ISPs network. Just like a VoIP call. |

kudos:2 | Yes, but VZ's wireline network is solid and has plenty of bandwidth to support call volume. That may not be the case wireless OTOH. |

I don't have a problem using personal broadband connection for telephone traffic as long as carriers make it worthwhile and the only phone(s) capable of accessing Femtocell is your own.

You're just offloading it from their wireless network to their wired network. How am I doing that since I live in an AT&T area for POTS and I get my internet from Charter? Exactly where is Verizon coming in at? |

So your call enters the Verizon network almost like a cell phone call would except it's not using the local towers to receive the call.
