Straight Talk Offering HOME PHONE for $15/month Starting 09/21! *UNLIMITED LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE!*

Quote from Totalfixation : I guess for the most part if you can power it from your car you can make car phone too.

Fine print...


** Provided the battery is charged and the phone plugged into the Straight Talk Wireless Home Phone device does not require an external power source.

So maybe no car needed...

I'll stick with my MagicJack, but probably a good deal for some.

hmm.. probalby could plug it in at home.. plug it in - in the car.. then at work..

LOL

â€_If you are not satisfied with your device, simply return it to us within 30 days and we will replace it or give you your money back. It's that simple. Straight Talk Service Cards, and /or or unused minutes are non-refundable. It takes up to 30 business days to process the return and credit your account. Credit for returned phones and/or accessories will appear on your credit card statement between 1-2 billing cycles.

guess i'd lose texting though.. if i made a switch...

currently payiing $35 a month with cricket..

says it's a portable wireless device.. cool

SO they replace your landline (thing on a wooden or steel utility pole that is a wire into your house) with a Router/ Cell phone server device and port your number (switch carriers: Landline company to Cell company) What handset do you use with this? Is it Pink?

anyoen got a link to the verizon device?

I wonder if it's a cell phone based thing, or if it's Data based voip thing.. hmmm

Just got the Verizon version of this to replace a landline, saving about $15/month. The Verizon version (this is the same unit, and the service is probably on Verizon) costs $20/month, but the device is free with a two-year contract, so this isn't really that slick, since the $5 difference over two years is $120, versus $100 for the StraightTalk unit (although 20 bucks is 20 bucks).
Basically, you just plug your existing home phones (corded or cordless) into the back of the unit, and then use it like you always have, except instead of the calls going out over wire, they go out over the cellular network. You still get a dial tone, and the unit has a GPS in it for reporting your location to 911.
Its actually pretty cool!
I think its actually pretty significant in that it could be the final blow to the landline providers, and also the harbinger of cellular-delivered internet and TV programming (please somebody give cable some competition!)

NVM delete this one

I can't wait

Sweet. So now I can make phone calls from my car using my old rotary dial phone. Thanks.

Can you tell me more about the Verizon Equivalent. I checked the Straight Talk and it is available and Verizon says not available ?? It is a rural locale but not 35 miles from a city of 700k. ?? The CS rep acted like they had no idea what I was talking about.What is the service titled at Verizon.
Thanks-

use google , free in USA and Canada
