"Hot spot services provided parents a good way to limit the overage charges, because children can be discussed on their cell phones, when they did not eat at home with minutes," he said. "But we found that many families do not want to shake off its traditional phone , they still want a phone, in the House of Representatives for the whole family."

Therefore, @ Home VoIP service was established to families who do not want to shake off their traditional land a low-cost option to retain the line, while still using hot services. E-911 service to ensure that works with VoIP services, T - Mobile is to require all users register their addresses, before the service can be activated.

But because it is an Internet-based telephone service is dependent on the broadband modem connection, the family still have to consider the risk of power failures and the Internet disruption, which will enable VoIP services and e-911 can not be in these blackouts. But wehrman that, in fact, T - Mobile provisions of subscribers @ Home service also has a T - Mobile phone subscribers limit of security concerns.
