lynyrd65 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 So my parents want to save some money on their land line. I found out Sprint has released a new version of the phone connect recently and we're probably going to get one. I've heard the previous models had issues. Has anyone tried this new one yet? Any issues? http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop/phone_details.jsp?prodId=dvc8360001prd&deviceSKUId=84000014&flow=AAL&planSKUId=&ptn=&tabId=dvcTab1820005&defaultContractTerm= edit: I didn't know what section to post this in, I figured hotspots and modems was the closest.

lynyrd65 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Maybe I should have put this in general. The hotspot forum probably sees very little traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacinJosh Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Maybe I should have put this in general. The hotspot forum probably sees very little traffic. Actually, I think we were putting the SPC devices in the Misc section of the Smartphone subforum.

mrknowitall526 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Interesting that it has 3G data. So I guess it's a hotspot too? Wonder if they offer a special plan for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, there is no hotspot function enabled. I'm not sure, but I think it uses a VoIP like codec on EVDO for voice.

mrknowitall526 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Oh interesting. So not 1x? Wonder if it does HD voice? I thought it was interesting that there was a 3G icon and description on the product page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynyrd65 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Well, I got it. We'll see how well it works. They told me it had "HD Voice" at the store. I'm excited to try it out. I'm waiting for my land line number to port out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4g hotspot and a home phone replacement would be intriguing device.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrknowitall526 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 A 4g hotspot and a home phone replacement would be intriguing device....I believe AT&T has such a thing. They called it "wireless internet & phone" accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdk Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I believe AT&T has such a thing. They called it "wireless internet & phone" accordingly. Well, I guess someone else thought of it first. Either way it would be nice offering (in my mind anyway) to have something like that in Sprint's lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they will add phone connect to the next one, and support for PBX and/or VoIP phone service for businesses too.
