Re: Tmobile already doing
I said same idea.. I don't care about the tech.. They both improve signal in house and both give unlimited calling at home.. To the consumer most are looking at cost difference. With Sprint you gotta go out and get broadband if you do not already have it. Example my parents have dial-up.. It' wouldn't be worth it to them. No need to comment on tech... |

Jonesville, MI | With T-Mobile you have to get broadband, too. Plus, with T-Mobile you have to go out and spend the extra money on a special phone if you don't already have it. |

| Yes, very humorous. I could argue all day on the subject, but I've put the simple facts out there for everyone to see, not for my or your amusement, and they're quite capable of making their own decisions based on the information given. I've seen your posts, I've seen your Sprint MBB review, and I've seen how you're misinformed about T-Mobile already doing the same thing. When someone with a CDMA phone walks into a house with this device, they should have service where they might not have otherwise. With T-Mobile, the only ones that'll have service around the device are the ones with a special phone (I wonder how that extra chip impacts battery life). |

| The good thing about T-Mobile's service is that anywhere that there is WiFi service, you get free calling (as long as you set up your phone for each particular network). In addition, the battery isn't affected too badly with the service; my parents used it for the past year and loved the signal quality.
"When someone with a CDMA phone walks into a house with this device, they should have service where they might not have otherwise."
You're right about the device offered by Sprint in that it works with any phone. However, there is a limited number of phones you can allow to use or access it. Last I read, I believe the number was 3 or 5. 5 seems like the more logical one because their family plans max out there. How many times - in reality - is someone going to come into your house, however, and start a conversation on their cell phone anyways? |
