Having to pay as well as buy the device is not happening. I don't need more minutes, I need a stable connection.

Roam for the win at 5 bars!
Why pay more if you don’t need the unlimited minutes.

At first glance, this actually looks better than T-Mo's Wi-Fi at home device. When I asked T-Mo about it, it was $10/month per phone to use. This doesn't use Wi-Fi so you aren't limited to what phones you can use.

What I want to know is if you are in a non-EVDO area like me, will this thing give you EVDO coverage?

But I do agree. If you are still using your minutes there should not be a monthly fee. Fee only makes sense if you get unlimited.

MrMaze - you don't have to pay to use T-Mobile's Wifi thing. What they charge you $10 for is for unlimited minutes when using it.

If you don't subscribe to the $10 bolt-on, all calls made using the Internet are charged at usual T-Mobile rates. So you can use Wifi to get a stronger signal, at home, at Starbucks, or where-ever else you use Wifi.

I have a Nokia 6086 and this is exactly how I use it.
