Ever see that infomercial for that little gadget that hooks up to your PC that makes unlimited phone calling something like $30/ year? Great idea but who can deny the fact that targeting landlines exclusively is missing out on a major chunk of the telephone industry?
MagicJack, the company responsible for the device, has apparently taken note as indicated by the release of their new femtojack; the cellular equivalent of the technology.
The femtocell will work with mobile phones from potentially any carrier (even old GSM phones) without any paid service plans with a carrier. All the user would have to do is come within eight feet of the magicJack one time to register the connection then enjoy unlimited airtime within a range of 3000 square feet.
Pricing has yet to be determined.
