Router Update Pushed Down from T-Mobile?

I just got a phone call, on 01/07/2009 at 12:32 Eastern time. I pick it up and it’s a recording saying:
“Hello! This is T-Mobile. We have sent an update to your @Home router. Please reset your router in order for the update to take effect.”
I’m paraphrasing, but that was the basic gist. I had no [...]

T-Mobile@Home HiPort Adaptor – Anyone Have/Use It?

T-Mobile @Home HiPort adapter

My 2-year contract with T-Mobile for mobile phone usage is up this February. I’m on the ‘Family Talk 1000′ plan, so my wife and I both have a phone with a shared pool of 1000 minutes (it cost me $49.95 total for both phones and has been great for us).

The one thing [...]

T-Mobile@Home Monthly Bill – How Much It Really Costs (Me)

I get an email once in a while from folks who are considering purchasing the T-Mobile@Home service but can’t seem to believe that the $10 per month is true. In fact, for me at least, it isn’t $10 per month – it’s $9.99 plus taxes. I’m surprised T-Mobile doesn’t advertise $9.99 per month instead as [...]

TMobile@Home Router WRTU54G-TM Phone Admin Screen and Call Log

I’ve had some folks ask about the router’s administration pages. It has basically all of the typical router settings pages, like port-forwarding, wireless security, etc. In addition, it has two features that are specific to the telephone capabilities of the router.
While not really a ‘feature’, the above screen just shows you whether your SIM card(s) [...]

3 Weeks with the Tmobile@Home Service

…and everything has been perfect. No complaints. I don’t know what else to say about it at this point. The audio quality is top-notch – better than my landline. I know that sounds like bullshit but it’s the truth. I’m pretty sure though that getting rid of DSL (and the noise it introduces to the [...]

Well, I’m definitely sticking with TMobile@Home now…

I’ve had the service since Sunday and so far so good, although I want to be up-front about this – I don’t make many phone calls. I hate the phone. I’m an email guy whenever possible. My wife, on the other hand, has those prototypical female relatives who can’t let a day go by without [...]

Guinea Pig: I have the new Tmobile@Home ‘Landline’ Replacement Service

11/02/2008 NOTE: After I originally wrote this post a few months ago, T-Mobile linked to it from their t-mobileathome.com site. This has resulted in a huge number of emails/comments on the posts I’ve written about the service. While I appreciate T-Mobile linking to my blog, as all the links/hits I get drives traffic to my [...]
