Fem2Cell Rooooocks!

As many of our friends and family knows, we have terrible cell signal at our house....The Beautiful Janny and I recently got new cell phones and it made it worse.  Apparently, Samsung phones have weak radios.  Jan has been complaining for over a year.  I didn't know what I could do.  I knew verizon had a Fem2Cell device but it's $300!   

Fem2Cell is  sort of like a personal cell tower in your house.  It looks like your wireless network router, only works on the cell frequency rather than the wifi frequencies.  Anywho, the Fem2Cell take your calls and send them thru your High Speed internet connection.  So...back to my problem.

$300!   after a while though....I just figured it was worth the money to have a happy wife/happy life.

But I had a plan...For a while now I've been using an IP Client on my cell phone to make calls.  It uses my Google Phone number....it actually worked pretty well.  A little spotty...actually, I got dropped off a business call at just the wrong time.....so....I figured it was worth the money

Happy Wife + Job Security = worth $300


So I call Verizon...I tell the guy, :
"You have an opportunity today sir...an opportunity to save a marriage"
blah blah blah.....
"did you know I've been using an IP phone to make calls out of my house?"  did you know I can't use my verizon minutes when I'm at my house"

"no problem sir, I'll send you a Network extender."
"free?"
"yes sir"
"good choice...you made the right choice"
