INTERNET CONNECTIONS (05/27/2008) Free Calls for All (reprinted with permission from PC Magazine) by Sascha Segan As convenient as they are, mobile phones have two big drawbacks. First, getting a good signal isn't always guaranteed, and second, and more importantly, if you use too many minutes, it'll cost you. T-Mobile's Hotspot@Home phones sidestep these pesky issues by using your home Wi-Fi network to make unlimited calls for only $10 per month. The ultimate promise of Hotspot@Home is even more exciting: an ideal H@H phone would make unlimited calls, with great reception, from any Wi-Fi network you can access. Unfortunately, not all H@H phones live up to that dream. Even the not-so-great ones, though, work with T-Mobile's free (after rebate) Linksys and D-Link routers to give you spot-on coverage at home. And there are some sneaky things you can do with H@H phones, too: for instance, if you bring your phone and router overseas, you can make phone calls without paying international roaming charges. Right now, no other carrier offers a plan like this. Sprint and Verizon are both experimenting with tiny cell sites you put in your home that offer unlimited calling and improved reception. But Sprint's Airave has been stuck in testing for months, and Verizon has yet to show any retail products. -Mobile offers six H@H phones right now, and we've looked at five of them. The carrier sells two basic voice phones, the Nokia 6086 and Samsung T409; one midrange phone, the Samsung Katalyst; and three Blackberries: the Pearl 8120, the Curve 8320, and the business-focused 8820. If you just plan to use Hotspot@Home at home, you can go with any of T-Mobile's six handset options. The Nokia 6086 is fairly dull and good only for voice calling, but it's free after an online discount. The Samsung Katalyst is a mediocre midrange phone, but it works just fine with the T-Mobile-supplied router. The consumer phones we tested had some trouble handing off calls between Wi-Fi and GSM networks without dropping them. I'm a lot more jazzed about the Blackberries, because they live up to the promise of being able to connect to hotspots in hotels, airports, Starbucks shops, and wherever else you may find Wi-Fi. The Pearl is a great choice for those looking for a more traditional phone; think of its excellent e-mail and text messaging abilities as a bonus. And the Blackberry Curve 8320 is, hands-down, one of my favorite devices on the market today, and it's often what I reach for when I'm headed out on a business trip. Hotspot@Home isn't perfect, but I'd still highly recommend it. Especially when paired with a Blackberry, at the very least, it's a great way to solve the common problem of weak cell phone signals at home. And at best, it gives you unlimited calling in hotspots all around the world. |

2 A Worm is a self-replicating virus that does not alter files but resides in active memory
and duplicates itself. Worms use parts of an operating system that are automatic
and usually invisible to the user. It is common for worms to be noticed only
after their uncontrolled replication consumes system resources, slowing or halting
other tasks. |
1 Viruses are self-executing, self-replicating programs. They alter the way a computer operates without the knowledge or permission of the user. When activated,, viruses may damage files, cause erratic system behavior, or display annoying messages. The ability to self-replicate differentiates viruses from Trojan horses and other virus-like programs. |






3 A Trojan Horse uses unprotected ports to open lines of communication with your computer, and can ultimately give hackers control over your machine. Active Trojan Horses are also called Remote Access Trojans. |
