UPDATE
Running T-Mobile @Home through my cable internet service has been good thus far. The quality of the connection is good, without any jitters or other artifacts that come with VOIP services. I’ve been using the service for most of my phone calls rather than my mobile. I may be able to reduce my monthly rate plan further. With T-Mobile @Home, I am saving $20/month by adding the monthly cost and subtracting the savings from a higher rate plan. If I save more mobile minutes, I may be able to reduce my plan further and save more money.
There are other factors that figure into this. T-Mobile treats your @Home service as a mobile phone, so calls to other T-Mobile phones fall under the unlimited mobile-to-mobile feature. We also have a family plan with MyFaves, which means more minutes saved on the most frequently called numbers.
Another trick up my sleeve is that I have my Grand Central number forward to both my mobile and @Home phones. When calls come in, both phones ring and I use the unlimited @Home line to take those calls.
Finally, when calling those numbers that keep me on hold forever, you can bet I’ll use my @Home service. For only $10/month, T-Mobile @Home more than makes up its cost in savings. Even the most basic landline costs more than that with none of the features.
