Comments on: T-Mobile Launches HotSpot @Home http://sticksoffire.com/2007/07/11/t-mobile-launches-hotspot-home/ A very loose interpretation of the news and happenings in and around Tampa Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:02:10 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: voxpop http://sticksoffire.com/2007/07/11/t-mobile-launches-hotspot-home/comment-page-1/#comment-97614 voxpop Mon, 16 Jul 2007 17:06:43 +0000 http://sticksoffire.com/2007/07/11/t-mobile-launches-hotspot-home/#comment-97614 Me neither ! Karen (and others) there is a little known service of verizon that offers home service (stripped of course of most of the unused stuff) for 12 to 15 per month. I listened to a guy make the verizon phone sales person find it for him. Took him about a half hour but now his phone bill is NIL and that's how it should be, eh?? He has all the services on his cell --- but the land line is essential. I've gone back and forth on that but i believe it's a needed feature. Cell phones just fall out of service when they feel like it. And I've seen live free die hard twice. I guess this means the verizon employees will ramp up their stalking again. LOL Me neither !

(Or the cell towner knocked down.) I LOVE my cell phone, but I'm still not quite ready to quit clinging to my old land-line service.

I called just out of curiousity after reading your blog and was further informed that the tmobile hotspot which one would create, thereby spawning a wireless connection---- Well, in order to make it work in the first place (for your computer) you'd have to already have broadband or DSL. So, it creates a hotspot for minutes but not for wireless networks. Bummer. It would cost you 19.95 on top of your DSL or broadband to piggyback it with 'free' tmobile wireless hotspot. I'm assuming that's on top of the 19.95 some already pay for tmobile hotspot access??? Don't know. Once I got my first question answered the rest seemed pointless. It's still WAY exciting. Obviously you sent me off to ask questions ... so thanks again for telling us. hey sarah, was cool of you to cover this.
