Re: Available in my area said by ptrowski:If you look at Voipo, the monthly cost is $15. Viatalk is doing $99 for 1 year, Phonepower is $19 a month so technically still cheaper. Almost all of those include some international calling for free. I guess I am just having a hard time catching the savings. There is no savings in purchasing one of these with an additional plan, its completely pointless. The benefit (to a consumer) of a femto cell is to improve coverage, and to use the minutes you have already paid for on your 'cellular' plan. If ATT doesnt allow you to simply use your existing minutes then this thing will fail.

I have crappy coverage where I live, but I have 8000+ rollover minutes. The day it's available in my area I'm getting one. If you use your own minutes, there is no monthly recurring charge.

Tower is less than a half mile away, but we are shielded from it by the "end of the mountain" that the tower is on. (It affects all the carriers, not just ATT) The minute this is available to us, I'll order it and I have no concern about minutes since we always have thousands of roll-over minutes available on our family plan. | |
