Can I eliminate my internet service thru AT&T for my home computer or do I still have to pay for service?

no you should keep your internet service the idealworks is only good for boosting what signal you have or very close internet connection in my opion this product does not work and is a piece of junk just to collect dust

Disagree with Ricky Stahlman. I have been using the Ideal works adaptor in an RV Park in Florida for the past month. Without this device the Parks wifi signal strength is very poor and mostly unuseable. With it the signal strength is consistantly 100%.

Unless you are next to a reliable hotspot, I would not discontinue my service. Hotspots have a habit of closing down or adding security, especially if you cause the owner's speed to decrease or in any way interfere with them .

The short answer is no!!!!. It is a long range wifi adaptor capable of receiving the signal from a router or hotspot that can be up to 3000 ft away.

If you want to steal someone else's bandwidth you cancel your service, but be prepared for them to add a password to protect their wifi from poachers who want to steal the wifi they are paying for.

Yes. It is currently supplied by Time-Warner to subscribers who have both internet and telephone service.If you have a problem, telephone Time-Warner Support. They may ask you to provide one or more of the units numbers (ie: S/N. MAC addresses) on bottom label.

You use your internet. Wireless or wired internet. I don't pay them anything. I am using the free plan and my own internet. Hope this helps!

Check with the pay-as-you go and go-phone sections of AT&T's website. They are often changing the structures of their plans. Also there are options not listed when trying to order a package online. I use a $25 a month plan with no DATA, and use my home network for DATA related smartphone features. You can call and ask customer service about all available options.

No, you need to have service. If you have movies or music downloaded it works without sevice.

Wow, that one is beyond my pay grade.... I know when I am in my house I can control it from my computer, but my computer is connected to network, which is connected to internet... don't know if the internet connection is necessary. This company was very fast at responding to my question when I first purchased it, maybe an email to them...

Yes. That's not a problem. They will include a monthly data fee, if it is not part of your plan already, (for updates) but not enough to use the internet regularly.

No, you will still need an Internet provider and wireless Internet service. This is intended to be used with an air card.

Yes I already have a home account so it was a ten dollar a month add on. However you can get service and shut it off when not using it
1452256
Yes, however you will have to call your service provider once you do so that they can make sure that there are no service interruptions.

The short answer is yes. If your DSL service came with a wireless router already, you will need to talk to your provider about disabling it before hooking this up.

I don't use a data plan but I do know that I can accidently go on the internet so it must work. I get charged by Att when I do.

Hello Yes you are correct, you need access to high speed internet, like Charter cable. I wound up buying and using a Basic Talk unit. I kept getting a 911 syntax error message with the MajicJack when I tried to set it up. The Basic Talk with fees and taxes costs me $11.90 a month. AT&T; was $72. MajicJack was $59 for the unit, $29 to port my old phone Number and $29 per year +$10 for the old number. Basic Talk was $11 for the unit/1st month free, No charge to port(use) my old number and it set up and works as advertised. You still need to plug into the modem with the Basic Talk, but unlike the MAjicJack you do not need to keep your computer up and running at all times.

You shouldn't have to pay for your landline any longer. Just use OOMA and your internet connection. That's the whole point.

This is true. I have unlimited internet for $15 with ATT. It's 3.5G speed and it's great. i'll be out of the contract in two months so this will be great to go month to month without having to worry about being tied up for another two years and a $375 early termination fee with any other smart phone they charge nowdays.

No need for internet. I went to Verizon and specifically asked them to turn it off. If they don't turn it off on their end then yes, I believe you are subject to accidental data charges. Check with your carrier; I use Verizon

This mean that you will have internet capabillity 24 hrs. a day but it comes with a monthly bill from AT&T.; If you only use your IPad only at home I wouldn,t get that feature and just use my internet at home.
