Had the portable phone. It was great. Imagine eating at a restaurant and having that phone with you. Had problems with the unit after a month of use. I couldn't receive calls and the unit didn't have a signal anywhere. Now they sent me a demand letter asking me to pay 5K for a service that didn't work. I found out from the guy that delivered the letter that he's got a lot more rounds to do. Mostly collections for units that didn't work in the first place. No biggie, it's partly my fault for not making sure I got a replacement. I did report it though. So here's my two cents: The service is great. Nice to have a landline with you everywhere. If I could do it again, I would get the cellphone type instead of the wireless unit. And, I'd wait until they have a pre-paid version in case I do encounter more bugs. (BTW, I just wanted to say I'm a fan of your blog. Been a lurking around for a long time since I found out about it from attending SEMCON. Hope to read more from you) I subscribed to this service around 3 months ago. Had the portable phone. It was great. Imagine eating at a restaurant and having that phone with you.

It's been around in Indonesia for a couple of years now, and I've always wished I could use my CDMA phone back home. It's really a good spare for long calls as opposed to the GSM.
