My wife has always handled the cell phone bill, until last week. We spend a whopping $130 per month on our cell phone bill, which consists of 2 phones, text msg package, and insurance for our phones. This monthly price is only for the bare bones monthly minutes usage as well, which leaves no wiggle room for downsizing. This gave me an idea.
We are all familiar with how Vonage has now started taking over traditional land line phones, though their VOIP system. Well, isn’t it a matter of time before someone invents a Vonage like system package and then couples it with a custom cell phone that routes back through some sort of WiFi connection?
Think about it, you would purchase a typical phone line through a company like Vonage, about $25. You would then purchase a cell phone that would communicate directly with software installed on your computer at home, which would then route calls through the internet. This would rule out the need for expensive antennas used by the cell phone industry and negate the need to buy air waves, since the signal transfer would be through broadband internet.
So how about it, someone please invent this sytem, which I would gladly pay upwards of $100 per month for. That is if it included a land line and two cell phones with close to unlimited minutes and at the very least free text messaging.

what you’re describing sounds a lot like t-mobile’s hotspot@home, at&t’s microcell, sprint’s airave, and verizon’s wireless network extender.
Huh, lol, I had never heard of those packages. However, each of those still fall short of the intended goal. To be free of those over priced assholes!
Each are an additional price, stacked on top of one of their normal plans. The idea is to be completely free of the normal plans and move on to something different, that is ALL broadband.
