Sprint Phone Connect (Axesstel TX340G) Review

I don't like IP Phones like Magic Jack or Vonage, or Skype. But this solution works great for me, and is pretty cheap. I like that it works when the power is out, and offers e911 service using GPS.

A great solution for Grandma, Mom, or anyone who can't or won't use a Cellphone.

@Korndizl I haven't done it, but people convert the phone to boost. And I have considered it. you don't get 4G but you get unlimited everything else for about 1/3 the price of sprint

you should get some pigtails and a used direct tv dish and a few other things and do an antenna mod

@itouchhacker241 Been there done that, IKEA bowl Yagi on XyHd Dot Tv

Do you know what the dBi on the antenna is or if it can be replaced?

[BlackwaterOpsDotCom]

@lanceseidman It is removable and a standard connector so you could use an external antenna.

So. If it acts like a cell phone with unlimited minutes for $20 a month why isn't the same service offered with regular cell phones?

Has this, then, replaced your home phone completely (if you had one prior)?

Question for you...first came the Record, then CD, then MP3......Video, DVD, BluRay....a progression in technology if you get where I'm coming from. What's succeeds the Internet, what will it look like in 5,10, 50 years? If the internet gets censored (SOPA etc) could the web get re-branded, resold and not suffer the same laws that will eventually govern the world wide web?
