She also told me it will likely be similar in price to the $9.99 add a line fee, so that sounds pretty good. HOWEVER unlike VONAGE, VIATALK, and the good'ol departed SunRocket, it will not offer free long-distance to Canada, which I actually use a lot. Doubt I'll use this then. Come on T-Mo!! You want to compete with the other VoIP carriers then you got to offer the same scope of calling coverage!!

I just called T-Mo sales department, and they didn't know anything about this either. Does this even exist if T-Mo doesn't know anything about it? Ok WFT!!!

The Rep (Sarah) knew about the Hotspot@Home Talk Forever change from the traditional Hotspot@Home, but didn't know anything about VOIP home phone part. She said it was just a price change down to $9.99/month for @Home. She didn't know of any new router other then the current two (linksys and D-link). I specifically told her it was also for VOIP home phones, and she read to me what she had, and it only mentioned WiFi for UMA. What's going on here? BTW she was super nice and back dated my update to HotSpot@Home Talk Forever for the whole billing cycle, so for all of Februrary I'll pay $10 rather than $20 for my family HotSpot@Home. Not bad.
