Question Response
I have a fax. 1. There are Internet-based Fax Services which allow customers to send and receive faxes using their computer. They
do not require a fax machine or a phone line. Examples of companies offering this service are eFax, MyFax, Green-
Fax, etc.
You may also consider keeping your current home phone line, but change to your landline company’s “basic rate”.
Though never advertised, most landline companies offer very basic calling plans. With your fax connected to the
landline, keep your T-Mobile @Home line for all your regular calling needs.
Here is some sample pricing for fax alternatives:
www.efax.com - $16.95 per month includes 130 receive and 30 sent•
www.myfax.com - $10 per month includes 200 receive and 100 sent•
www.greenfax.com - $12.95 per month includes 250 receive (7 cents per minute to send)•
www.saveonfaxes.com - $6.95 per month 250 in/out pages (the customer allocates)•
www.trustfax.com - $4.95 per month includes 100 receive and 50 sent•
I have a discounted 2.
phone, internet, and
cable bundle service with
another carrier. How will
this save me money?
The T-Mobile @Home service is only $10 per month; that’s an incredible bundle value. This discount comes in sav-
ings each month over your current phone bill, not to mention the savings of having unlimited nationwide calling.
Let’s break down how much you would pay per month if you split up your bundle service and replaced the home
phone service with T-Mobile @Home. (Use the competitive comparison worksheet to determine the customer sav-
ings).
Note: Please make sure you follow these steps to unbundle the service and port their number. If these steps are not
followed, all three services may be canceled with the old carrier.

I have a TiVo.3. An alternate option is to connect TiVo via broadband Internet. TiVo provides additional features such as movie down-
loads for customers using a broadband Internet connection.
The model of your TiVo system determines the solution you can use. If you have a TiVo box with an Ethernet port
built in, plug in an Ethernet cable and connect it to the Internet. Those without this port may be able to buy one of
the following adaptors from TiVo (check with TiVo to determine if you need to upgrade the software on the receiver in
order for these adaptors to work):
• USB to Ethernet
• USB to wireless
