sandstones says "better than Vonage at less than half the price" about T-Mobile @Home

@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,

VixenViewTreasures says "Not the ultimate answer yet - Waiting to see if it has potential" about T-Mobile @Home

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 is included in the $10.00 per month charge - saves us from having to use the cell phone for everything.

CONS: uses your computer line so it disrupts other phone related automated items, *requires an additional router, customer service for at home is not as good as the cell phone customer service, At home customer service promises things that are untrue (for instance: 911 fee is included with......

crzygurl048 says "Really Helpful" about T-Mobile @Home

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....

vanheve2 says "Poor billing system killed the deal" about T-Mobile @Home

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

When I went to a T-Mobile Corporate store to sign up for @Home Service, we found out I cannot order the service. Seems that since they are adding this as an additional cell line in the system, I cannot get it.

They cannot add a 6th line to a Family Plan, so to get the Home service, I would need to start a new account of $39.99 or higher, or get 2 Family Plans and put 2 Cell lines on one, and 3 cell lines on another.

So, in the end, I would end up paying at least $40 more a month and have 2 Family Plans.

Sounds like they need to make some changes to their billing system rules.....

Overall, cheaper to stay with AT&T CallVantage with unlimited calling at $25 a month than get 2 T-Mobile plans.

Great idea, poor ordering system....
