Looking at Wireless Home Phone? Is it really portable???

I now have the Verizon Home Phone!
It costs $20.00 a month plus tax and there is a 2 year contract. I have unlimited local and long distance, caller ID, 3 way calling and some other features that I forget.
I also signed up for the wifi with 5g and that is $50. a month plus tax.
I also kept my home phone number that I have had for 15 years!
I had att lite internet and charges for long distance.
It's almost an even swap price wise but I now have the fast internet and unlimited long distance for about $78. a month.
I read through a lot of the reviews on the home phone and it seemed the people complaining were in out of the way places that probably had poor cell service anyway.
The girl at the Verizon Store was very helpful and explained everything patiently. I even waited a week before going back to sign up. If anyone in the 904 area code area wants a referral you can PM me. I have no connection to her or Verizon, just a happy customer!

I see an advantage because you can answer your home phone when you are on the road or at a second home like you are physically at your "home". If you are involved in a social group or an association and use you home phone number as your contact point, the caller can always get in touch with you, no matter were you are physically located. We use Verizon are really happy with cost and service.

Wally World had a Black Friday sale on the Straight Talk Home Phone for $49. We went there about 9:30 am after the frenzy died down and they still had a lot of them on sale so I got one at $49.

I had looked at adding the Verizon one but my cell phone plan, with 2 phones, is grandfathered so I would have to commit to a new plan to add the Verizon Home Phone. It would have cost me about $50 more per month so buying the Straight talk and paying $15 per month was a "no brainer".

We have had our VZW Home Phone Connect for over 3 years and love it. I on plugged the home network from the outside world and plugged the Home Phone in to a phone jack close to where we put the Home box (close to a window for better signal). I now have 6 wireless phones and 4 wired phones that can be used(we have a phone everywhere in the house). The battery back up works great but you need to have a wired phone to use it or you still can't call out because the wireless phones need power. It goes with us on trips so we can have our home phone with us in the camper or when visiting relatives for a few days. We have a small wired phone that we plug into it so we don't have to have AC power, we just plug it into the camper 12 volt. Besides the other things people have mentioned it also comes with voice mail so we don't bother having it on when we go down the road and just pick up messages when we setup camp.

That's one advantage of using a wireless service that leases access from Verizon. You don't get charged add-on fees. I've got two smartphones on Verizon, and have never paid more than my plan's rate.

I think everybody is right...yes it is another cell phone, it does connect to your existing home phone or RV phone wiring. yes you can get rid of your home phone and port that number to a conventional cell phone if thats what you want to do. VZW Home Phone Connect has worked great in our home for the past 3 years or so, yes it does have unlimited minutes and LD is included just like your cell phone. It is considered "in network" for verizon cell phone calls to it.

It's nothing more than a cell phone that connects to existing phone wiring for $20 per month plus taxes and fees. We replaced our previous Frontier land line that had creeped (if thats a word) up to $45 monthly. (that equates to about 75 gallons of gas over a years time.. just enough to get the RV to central Florida this winter.) I was all for getting rid of the old home phone and just using our cell phones, but DW is the ultimate anti-technologist and wants her home phone set. So everybody is happy - except Frontier Communications.

the advantage of st home phone is unlimited mins. no cellphone has that no a few still has but are becoming extenct

I have both the Straight Talk home phone and a Tracfone cell phone. The Straight Talk uses Verizon service and the Tracfone uses ATT service. Verizon coverage generally is the best nation wide. I spend winters in south Florida and ATT has better coverage there. If I'm in an area where Verizon reception is bad I can forward calls from my Straight Talk to my Tracfone.

depends by what you mean as 'replace'
portable as in movable to another location, site, county, state
Not mobile .. as put in your pocket and drive to the golf course

as previously stated
the home connect is portable but is a 'base' unit it does not fit in your pocket
it requires that you plug some form of 'residential' phone into the base unit

it is Not going to replace a 'cell' phone for on the go use

it is not going to go walking, bike riding, or shopping with you
or in your pocket at the doctors office

It sounds as though this can replace your cell phone. Are am I overlooking something that makes it still necessary too have both?
