said by jjeffeory:Why would I pay a cellphone company more money to use the network that I pay for at home? If I could just buy the femto cell, hook it up to my home internet connect, and then reap the benefits of better coverage it would be fine. I am not going to pay for coverage that the cellphone carrier should already have. It's just another way to get you to pay for helping THEM. That's just crap.
It doesn't come out of the "minute bucket" on TMO, so I don't have to wait until 9PM to answer and make calls. UMA is supported by Blackberry and other smartphones. You can buy an unlocked phone of your choice.
