In comparison to their cell phone service, their at home service is not as great - perhaps since it is still so new, they are working out all the bugs. However, I am saving a lot over traditional land-line service, so I will stick out my contract and see if I can fix the glitches having VoIP caused. At this point I'm not sure I could positively recommend this product. I will see how things go over the course of the next year and change if needed.

PROS: If you already have the cell phone plan, your home phone is only $10.00 per month, for us that's a savings of over $240 per year. Long distance... read full review »

Poor billing system killed the deal

I have a Family Plan with 5 lines (Base Plan and 3 add-on lines).

@home is better than other VOIP systems I have used, but still way less reliable than plain old copper lines.

frequently (like every week or two) phone line is dead and have to reboot the router. t-mobile says its becauase they are updating things.

recently spent an hour or two on the phone with t-mob to reset firmwre on router - an update apparently did not take correctly.

missing some features of other VOIP providers like simulaneous ring, web control of forwarding, real time viewing of call history,

I believe that T-Mobile @Home is amazing. It helps you save money. By only paying $10 a month for a home phone service, it really beats having to pay hundreds of dollars when everything now and days is so expensive. It really is a helpful way of having a phone when you don't need fancy add-ons to the phones.
