Comments on: Cutting the cord for all-you-can-eat wireless plans

Mobile operators are hoping to attract customers looking to ditch their home phone lines and upgrade to their new unlimited wireless voice plans.

I cut the cord 2 years ago.

I cut my cable tv four months ago too.

Now it's 100% wireless for everything.

Truly, I do not miss TV! That is the most amazing thing I've noticed, actually.

Trust me, coming from someone that loved to sit around and watch Saturday Westerns on AMC, or just channel surf every night...it's actually nice to have either the silence or the radio streaming from the net.

The call to television companies: If you want people like me to pay attention, you better get your online act together.

Where's the Hardware?

Want me to cut the cord? How about hardware that realizes that I have four phones on my landline? I don't walk around the house with a cell phone attached to my bathrobe. What I need is a cell phone system that works with extensions in several rooms throughout the house, but that allows me to take at least one of those phones when traveling and use it as a cell phone. What I don't need are games, PDAs, music, text messaging, camera, etc. What I want is just a phone, with extensions. Just like a real home phone system.

Signup for Metro PCS $ 45/month unlimited

Why will I pay these Bozos (T-Mobile, Sprint, At & T) $ 99/month when I can have Metro PCS (in CA, FL, GA) for US $ 45/month unlimited?

Metro PCS

I have Metro PCS, it isn't great but in my home and few other places has much better reception and voice than T-Mobile and AT & T.

Only problem is they use CDMA and their handsets are brick like.

Credit Checks

AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile, and Verizon require you to pass a credit check for new accounts. Credit checks for unlimited wireless plans seem unnecessary. A consumer shouldn't be required to pass a credit check to setup an account for an unlimited wireless plan. Though I have a positive credit history, I just think it's stupid to run credit checks on people for unlimited wireless plans. Even with excellent credit, you never know what tomorrow is going to bring.
