You need a Verizon home phone line & caller-ID & Verizon phone mail. The last 2 options usually come included in an unlimited calling plan. -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. .. My Web Page | |

 CorydonCultivant son jardinPremium join:2008-02-18 Denver, CO | Anyone have a link showing all of the features? I have Verizon wireless service, so this might be interesting to me, especially if there's a cost savings over Comcast CDV.
Will it work everywhere? Or just in Verizon's footprint? This article would seem to indicate that it may be the former. -- "2 Strangers + 1 20 minute ceremony + $50 + 10 shots of tequila = Holy Matrimony and 1st Class Protections Under the Law

 | | Fee Just to use this thing the want a monthly fee after the $199 plus are banking on the interest before that rebate is sent out!? WTF!
Totally not worth it. | |

I have two lines with VZW, what does $199 +$35/mth get me? I'm all for technology, but this seems like an attempt to force a product into a niche that doesn't exist. | |

You need to have internet AND cellular plan for the thing to even be purchased and then you pay an additional 35$ a month for 2 years no less? Come on V buy a clue, in this market you need to have expensive gadget with low to non existent fee and not tied in to other services to even work....sheesh | |

Good question. I'm moving in March and dropping my landline. I've been testing MagicJack and it works just as good as my landline, with a cell phone for backup I don't see any use for me. | |
|
 |  | | Agreed. Would you run Windows or Mac OSX if you had to pay a monthyly fee? I'm already paying $$ for FIOS. Except for the fee, this would be a GREAT kitchen wall phone for $200. | |
|
 | | Get Real Verizon I have FIOS and I've been reading and waiting on the Hub for a year. I couldn't wait to have an email, internet device in the kitchen. I was willing to pay the $199 or even $250 prive but now I have to pay $35 a month? FORGET IT VERIZON. You are getting all you are going to get from me each month already. I'll put a PC there and get the same (if not better) functionality I need at a one time cost. | |
|
 | | No more contracts I doubt it'll work, Verizon is already taking their clients for everything they can get, you'd be a fool to sign into such a large commitment in this day and age. The economy is fragile at best and having a contract that you have to pay every month when your financial freedom may get worse is just asking for trouble. I recommend to everyone to cancel all contracts as soon as possible and move towards a cash only life-style. Pre-paid cell phones are not only cheaper than contracts but you are not tied to a two year commitment. I have given up my Verizon contract for a Tracfone that is saving me tons of money. | |
