There was also a 3 second lag in our conversation so that was bad. Also I'm not too fond of the headset thing that I'd probably end up using for making an internet call... I wear a headset for work I don't want one at home. I just want a phone [cell or wireless handset] Skype just never had decent call quality for me whenever my dad used it to call.

I think we need to agree to disagree…for me $9.99 + tax (H@H) is much better that $40 + taxes (Qwest)…Also, with a family of five I do not think Skype is viable option/replacement for landline except to call my relatives in Germany.

Cell phones also fall short in this area. Having a land line with a speaker button works best in those situations.

H@H $39.99 tmo plan plus $9.99 H@H plan, so true cost is 49.98 plus applicable taxes, Skype unlimited calling to any number, (land line, or cellular in the US of A) is $2.95 as month, winner Skype. So like I was saying H@H TF is not worth it. Give me 3G, or invest in femtocell, Land lines in America is dead. you right Skype is not free, assuming you have high speed internet, which is what H@H TF also assumes you have, so we will say thats a wash.

I plan on moving from Qwest to Tmo because it's the best VoIP plan and will save +$30 per month on my land line bill. I would prefer to completely zap the land line but my wife wants one! In the past I used SunRocket VoIP, before it died a painful death, and was very satisfied. @remnique

You got to pay to play, and about me calling up bitching, I pay $400 a month for services on my phones and never complained about tmo, just saying I am tired of watching everybody else growing up while tmo caters to kids, i.e. the sidekick. ask yourself what was the last innovative thing tmo did? then ask that of AT&T Verizon and Sprint/Nextel. and don't even think about Europe, Asia and Japan. And the 3G is built out and over 90% of the spectrum is empty, all they got to do is throw the switch. but then people like you say hey I am a hermit I don't leave my house, give me unlimited calls at home, even tmo international carries the iphone, what great phone does tmo carry, yes they have a few 3g phones, but they all tether you to you laptop, so as every one else is simplifying, tmo is either keeping you at home or making you carry your laptop. and Id, I’ve been with the company 8 years, and waited patiently for tmo to evolve, its customers like you that keep tmo from doing anything innovative, if you want somethng great be ready to spend money for it, why do you think the US of A is always last to get the new tech, we want it cheap and don’t care that its been out in europe for 3 years.
