Today, Sprint announced the Sprint Phone Connect 3 with a feature I'm sure some people will love: Bluetooth connect to your phone to answer calls on your cordless phone if it's closer than your cell.

Announcement is here: http://newsroom.sprint.com/blogs/devices-apps-and-services/third-generation-sprint-phone-connect-lets-you-connect-answer-mobile-phone-calls-with-home-phone.htm

 

Pricing is simple: $6.25/mo on Easy Pay with a credit of $6.25/mo on your account if activated on a Sprint Phone Connect Plan.

 

Hopefully it'll include fax capabilities so it can be a true landline replacement, but I won't hold my breath.

 

Anyone thinking of getting one?

As always, thanks for your report, Josh!  If it does have fax capability, therefore being a "true" landline replacement, I will definitely consider it.   :tu:

These things will never be a "true" landline replacement until they can tap into the Caller ID databases to show the names of the callers, not just numbers. That alone would make me never want to buy one of these.

Some of us surprisingly still use fax machines, especial since we deal with people who don't know how to scan and email documents yet.

It is funny that people are still in 1997 with faxes.  Where I work, we use EchoSign and it is so much easier.

Working with lawyers and accountants... faxes are my life. Also I think Vonage offers a much better plan since I do a lot of international calling and faxing.

You should check out the latest google voice rates/plans.  You can just use hangouts with a google voice number and be 100% voip at no cost with extremely low international rates.  The VOIP quality is rather good.

I still need to be able to to fax. Vonage is the only service I have been able to fax with consistently.

We still have a fax machine in our house! I'd say we send at least 2-3 faxes a month, which I consider to be quite high for the year 2014!

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
