It is a neat product. I have been thrilled with the performance I seen
during the past three weeks I have been playing with the unit. It works
well. It is planned that one can someday be able to talk to his or her
group or individual units in his or her group from anywhere. For
example, I could possible talk to you if you were part of my group when
the network is fully expanded. It has much promise. The other factor i
like it the fact that the company is getting rid of the artificial
charges the regular celular companies add to their services. No more
roaming and no more hidden charges such as the 12 cent connect to a land
line phone no mater if you call that phone or if it calls you. I am
happy to have a known rate which will never vary as I travel from one
part of the country to another. I further am pleased that the unit
tracks all connects and disconnects. No more wondering if I am going to
be hit with hidden charges because "your unit did not disconnect."
Thanks for the information.
