I just called T-Mo to ask about this, since I'm in the Dallas area. 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 $20 for my family HotSpot@Home. Not bad.
"Talk forever is hotspot @ home. They are just changing the name because they are having some confusion with t-mobile hotspots. But in orlando market and I do believe two other markets have been testing it out for 9.99$ monthly and its has had a great response. So we will be changing the price nation wide. EXISTING customers on this service need to CALL customer service or you can pm me and get that changed. YOU WILL NOT BE AUTOMATICALLY MIGRATED TO THE 9.99$ PRICING.
Also we are updating the way the service works.it actually gives customers the ability to have unlimited calling through their home phone service. We will have a new router that will support two sim cards one for your home phone and one for your mobile phone. I will post more information as soon as I can."
So basically this service can be used as Hotspot@Home as well, if not, replaces it. You don't NEED to utilize the homeline/router part, unless you want to. Apparently the new router costs $49.99 and you get it refunded after 8 weeks of service.
"I went in2 the store today. The service is a monthly charge of $9.99. The router is $49.99 w/ a full refund in 6 to 8 weeks. Hope it makes my black hole of a condo service improve!! Cross your fingers"
