Anyone use T-Mobile Home Phone Service? Is it good?

Hi, I am planning to transfer over to Tmobile home phone service since I am already a Tmobile customer. Currently I am paying $39.99 for comcast home phone service. Just wondering, since we have to pay $50 for the tmobile router.. is it any good? I have a N router and it is fast. Will it be slower than mine?

I personally don't see the reason for having a cell phone and a land line. With a cell phone, you always have it on you and it can save numbers (no actual phone "book"). I cut my land line service and went straight mobile because I couldn't justify having my cell and get home and check messages from missed calls on another phone that I could have answered if my cell was called. Just my $.02

You are right. But it is just more convenient to answer a house phone VS. a cell phone since home phone is all over the house... And think about all the radiation that a cell phone has.

I can see that. My opinion was formed because I am not at home that much during the day, so I would miss a lot of calls. If you are at home for a good deal of time, then a land line wouldn't bee unpractical at all. Never really heard about the radiation thing, tho.

if you're really worried about cell phone radiation then you might be a little too paranoid. that's all i'm saying. but hey, whatever helps you sleep at night.

I can't tell the difference of phone quality from a conventional phone, but my parents say it's cheaper.

We sometimes, however, have a problem where the line dies, and we have to disconnect some stuff (I don't know what goes on but my brother does) and wait for a few minutes before it starts working again.
