By an upstairs window our mobile broadband card works fine so I would assume the phone modem would work ok. I don't like that it can't handle fax traffic, but I think in the last 5 years I've used the fax maybe 2 times so it's not a showstopper for me. I logged into my account at Ting.com and navigated to the devices page. I clicked the “activate” link next to the HPC2. During activation, the Ting website gave me the option to port my existing phone number to the HPC2 or setup a new phone number in my area code.

As a result of the T-Mobile merger with Sprint, T-Mobile is offering Sprint customers to switch handsets over to the T-Mobile Network by switching the SIM card. T-Mobile is actively stripping Sprint's network resources and should give you a better experience using the cellular network on your phone. My mom currently has 3 lines with Sprint, one of them being a Home Phone Connect. After reading of the 3g shut down, I began the process of moving her home phone service to a similar offering from Consumer Cellular.
Sprint Phone Connect 2
The way the told me is once my land line stops working then then my Connect will be activated. Was told to leave the Connect off until my land line is cut off or it might cause some type of delay. So really I'm not without a phone for 10 days. I also know the person I was dealing with at the store was a new person nor did I think about asking for a temporary number. But he did tell me if I used a different number, and then wanted to use my home number, I would have to bring back the unit to be reprogrammed. I don't think that was right, but I went with the flow of things.
The Sprint Phone Connect plan offers unlimited local and long-distance calling while on the Sprint network for one low price and allows the user to consolidate phone services into one bill. The Sprint Home Phone Connect 2 is designed to be a replacement for existing residential or business “landline” phone service. You can connect up to two existing telephone handsets to the two ports on the back of the HPC2 . The phone calls are carried over the Sprint wireless network instead of traditional landlines. When you pickup your phone, you immediately hear a dial tone and can begin dialing a 7 or 10 digit phone number.
Shipping and handling
I laughed and said it would be an odd way to do VoIP, and then I told him about Google voice I use for free already and he just looked like a deer in headlights on both comments. That 3 months free, free device and free activation seems like it's going to seal the deal for me. We were worried about power outages in emergencies but with battery backup I think that solves that issue. I had the original Sprint Phone Connect and had a few times where the voice quality was so-so.
I'm pretty sure they'll be alright having another device to play toy blast on. Fios Gigabit Connection+ TV Test Drive + Phone - $79.99/month for 2 years. Get a free Samsung Chromebook 3 or $200 credit toward select Samsung tech.
Home Phone Connect & Migrating to TMobile
I don't see why they couldn't do a temp number either. I thought about the straight talk one also, But I plan to get cell phones in about 6 mos. And kinda wanted to test and see how signal will work here, or if I needed a airave. But it doesn't matter, Monday morning the thing should be working. Delivery times may vary, especially during peak periods. You can look into activating a T-Mobile SIM card aka TNX.
Will usually ship within 3 business days of receiving cleared payment. Any particular reason you're converting the plans? No clue what plan she's on but I imagine it's much better than any current offering. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account. See if you can find out where your central office is.
Interest will be charged to your account from the purchase date if the balance is not paid in full within 6 months. Our Sprint connect is the only device we have that is still on Sprint T-mobile. There is no replacement equivalent on T-mobile. So, when they throw us off the network, that's the end of our account with T-mobile. The My Sprint Mobile App is available for iOS Devices on the App Store and for Android Devices on Google Play. You can also report a network issue via the Sprint website by scrolling to the bottom of the Sprint homepage and clicking "Network Feedback".
Several seconds after you stop dialing, you hear ringing. When someone calls your phone, it will ring about 5 times before going to Sprint voice mail . The device operates almost exactly like a traditional “landline” without relying on any type of “landline” or internet service. I plan to setup all of our HPC2 devices under a single Ting.com account.
If you haven't bought yours yet and looking to upgrade or add a line soon, it may be worthwhile to stop by a Sprint store to see what deals are going on for the PhoneConnect. We have been able to upgrade our alarm systems so that they use wireless technology to communicate with the vendor. In pahrump we fiber run thru parts of the valley for AT&T to offer DSL with, but from the nodes to the home it's all copper. From the central office to my house, it's like 10 miles. I don't see why they couldn't have just set it up with a new number then put in the port request afterwards. And I don't see why you'd need to have to take it in to "reprogram", maybe just dial a number/code sequence to update and that's it.
I read it only gets 2.5 hours of talk time while on battery power, and up to 30 hours of standby when the power is out. Anyone have any experience using the Sprint Phone Connect 2? I'm really po'd with CenturyLink right now for several reasons and want to drop my landline service with them and port my number over. Qualifying purchases could enjoy No Interest if paid in full in 6 months on purchases of $99 or more. Select PayPal Credit at checkout to have the option to pay over time.
Now after I've spent money setting things up and was about to turn power on, I called CenturyLink back again to have them setup DSL and they're telling me it's not available. Still waiting for a manager to call me back but I doubt anything will come of it. Why not just switch all of her lines over to Consumer Cellular? Three lines on their unlimited plan would be $90/month, or $85.50/month with AARP. They use T-Mobile or AT&T’s network, so her phones would be fully compatible. I recently purchased a SHPC2 for use with Ting.com.

I also received an email with my new phone number. The data charge and the lack of Caller ID name are the only surprises I have found. I have read that the SHPC2 does not support fax machines, credit card terminals, or alarm systems. It is not clear if those devices will not work at all or if that just means Sprint/Ting will not provide support if you have trouble with those devices. Those don’t affect me, but may affect some other users.
I am evaluating the product for use at residential locations and business locations with a single telephone line. Right, it depends on where they have fiber runs. Not to me, not to my County Commissioner and not to the folks at the NC broadband mapping office.

This sleek plug-and-play device lets the user plug their current office or home landline phone into the Sprint Phone Connect 2 terminal and activate it with an easy, over-the-air process. Sprint Phone Connect 2 is compatible with most conventional corded and cordless phones. If your cordless phone supports more than one handset, plugging the main base into the Sprint Phone Connect 2 will activate all the handsets . It also allows both business and consumer users to replace their landline service and maintain the features they are accustomed to from a landline phone provider.
