T-Mobile Trials Hotspot @Home Talk Forever
Home Phones
Little by little home phones are becoming extinct everyday, and T-Mo is helping put the nail on the coffin
...
is already doing this with the airaive in select markets and you don't have to have a special router or a certain plan, and anybody can port their home number...
...
Yep! And I'm proof. In the 6yrs I've been with Cingular/AT&T I haven't had a landline.
...
I haven't actually had a landline since I lived in the dorms when I started college. Come to think of it, I don't think I know anyone without children that has a landline.

this is not the same thing as airwave. Airwave uses you mobile phone to have full coverage in your house. This is using your home phone, plugged into the router, to get unlimited phone for $10 if you already have a T-mo plan as specified.
Sweet deal if you already have T-mobile! . . . but i am still wtg for national rollout of airwave.

Well, 1st it's not Airwave it Airave, and yes it is the basically the same premise, you pay an extra 10 dollars a month as an attachable option onto your plan and like you pointed out it does boost full signal both voice and data up to 5000 sq. ft. in your home, in addition to that as long as you are routed through your Airave you get unlimited calling that does not pull from your regular plan...I should know I actually had training on this last night.
...
All I was doing was pointing out the difference between this and the previous release of hotspot at home, this just adds to it by T-mobile wanting you to drop your landline carrier and port your home number to them. I think it is different from Airave but we can agree to disagree.
...
I just hope sprint drops the monthly price for having an airave. The current price isn't great considering it is using my connection and is saving sprint from having to build towers and/or add capacity to existing towers in the area.
...
Does Airave support traditional landline handsets? Or is Airave just unlimited calling on your mobile *while* you are in range of it?
...
Airave is a pretty poor piece of equipment. I've used it, I've sold it, and I've had no positive feedback. One of the only places you can get an Airave besides a Sprint store just stopped carrying it as well. I believe it tanked.
...
Yah I'm sure your right, that's probably why we were trained on it last night at my center in preperation for a nationwide roll-out...Hmm, but that's just my opinion you are retarded.
...
WOW... we have a Sprint employee here who wasn't "layed off"...how did you get to keep your job?
...
Does Airave only work in one home then?
The Talk forever is not limited to JUST home service. It is just an expansion so you can actually use a "home phone". The reason for the routher is for the WiFi phones.
Unlimited calling in ANY Wifi area. Even internationally. Yes it does work, if you have a WiFi phone and you are in whatever country, as long as they have open WiFi you can get uncharged unlimited calling in those areas.
So pretty much anywhere there is WiFi access and you can get the WEP Key or is free, unlimited calls. So the service is not just limited to your house.

Sprint's "airaive" is just a knock off of T-Mobile's HotSpot @Home...(that has been out in EVERY Market since the beginning of last summer) the @Home service uses your broadban service to let you have full coverage in your home or anywhere you can get a WiFi connection. You can choose to pay an extra $10 a month to have your calls unlimited when on WiFi, but you don't hve to. You ca even use your router that you already have...
Now, for the NEW HotSpot @Home (now called Forever Mobile") you will use a special router (because it uses a SIM card) to plug your land line phones into so that the 45% of the population who do not want to give up the home phone can still use their home phones and only pay $10 get the unlimited nationwide calling...
