1st @Home HiPort Customer in Cincinnati Market | Thread profile

Hello all. Today I purchased the new @Home HiPort Linksys router for the soon to be nationwide launched product. The manager of the store was very excited to have me as his first customer for the product. I had been asking about the service for the last month, and they just soft launched the product today. They set me up with a new courtesy number while my home number ports ...

Congratulations. Maybe you could help us out with a question a couple of us had. Could you tell us if your 911 calls from the @home "landline" are being routed to your local 911 center (what you would get calling from your soon-to-be-former landline) or to a different 911 center (what you would get calling from your T-Mobile cell phone) ? At least here in California ...

Title needs to be changed, you definately weren't the 1st in the cincinnati market. I sold an @home pack at 9:02 this morning when my store opened. I'm glad you like the service, I like how they prioritize voice calls with the HiPoint router.

Quote: The Hard Launch is on July 2, as indicated by their website t-mobileathome.com I am happy to see they have just shortened the name to "@Home" as all the HotSpot nomenclature and Talk Forever nonsense just confused people.

why is this better than say Vonage or Skype? Neither requires the hardware router.

Vonage does require the hardware router, unless you are talking about the USB device that they sell, which is horrible in its own. Also, Vonage - 24.99 T-Mo@Home - 10.00 I've had Vonage ...

I'm using Lingo (Like Vonage)... and I had a couple questions about the @home service: With call forwarding, can you call foward specific numbers? (For example, when Johnny calls, forward it to my cell, but if Debbie calls, let it ring, and if the dog calls, then forward to the vet ) Is the caller ID True caller ID... where they look up the name and pass that through as ...
