| Optimum WiFi With Optimum WiFi in so many places here on Long Island, it would not surprise me if you could carry on most calls without having to switch to cell service. I use the service extensively with my iPhone and rarely turn on the 3G Sprint service.

That's a bit of a "STRETCH" as wifi is nowhere near as blanketed as you think.. other minor carriers are toying with this technology but no major carriers including sprint want to touch this idea because it costs them revenue to offload call time to wifi compared with usage based billing which is where the majority of the WIRELESS industry is heading. | |

| | wrong type of company i like the concept but really wish it would come first not from a network owner but from a consumer bargain oriented company such as magicjack or nettalk.
an inexpensive handset with built in voip that works for free and/or very cheap wifi calling but also has a SIM card to allow voice calls on a pay per minute basis when wifi is not available could be be a really big hit.
this does not necessarily need to be a smartphone. there is a market for something very basic like a clamshell flip phone where the purpose is very clearly to save people money on basic voice calling. | |

Wayne, NJ | hmm... What if OOL fixes the subpar menu's on the existing cableboxes. Or maybe get's a android app for streaming ,etc etc etc.
I'm happy with my AT&T service so I won't use Optimum for cell phone service. | |

Toledo, OH | Re: hmm... you maybe happy with ATT but with OOL moving everything to data and onto their own network they can basically give you unlimited calling and dirt cheap, especially since they're already a digital phone provider. They'll have the upper hand in the end. | |
