Re: I must be missing something... said by openbox9: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. See my response to Tk. 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.
