Is it just me or did AT&T a.k.a. "The Man", launch the phone at home cradle like three years ago and it when down in flaming glory faster than The Heat in the playoffs this year?
🤣 I cant imagine Tmobly fans will accept this a effortlessly as the my faves. However, they will get more market share once this thinf finally jumps off. But thats just my perspective.

I think customers will eat this up because of how cheap they're offering it in comparison to the other carriers that have or will offer something similar.

That just forwarded your mobile phone number to your landline phone. You still needed a landline and all calls were billed on that line as appropriate, and your cell phone was stuck in the cradle while it was in use.

This requires broadband Internet, but not a land phone line. It also gives you wireless coverage and unlimited calling with your cell phone throughout your home.

The phone at home cradle was a little different. The network would forward calls to a regular landline phone, but it would need some signal once in the cradle to tell the network to forward calls.

The T-Mo one would actually let your phone work on WiFi, regardless of whether or not T-Mo signal is there. This would allow users with WiFi but bad T-Mo signal to use their phone. It's a great idea.

so it doesnt matter if you have signal or not? this will allow calls to be sent through your IP not your cell signal?

Yep. That's pretty much the entire point.
