Without going into a sales pitch (you can get the detail off our
website) we do offer such things…
Home Phone Wireless is a fixed-line service running over our
mobile network (so you get a landline number).
Home Zone tells your phone you’re in the house when you
arrive home and converts it from a mobile to your landline number (which I
think is what you’re talking about in the US).
And just to clarify a point about mobile termination rates –
MTR and Fixed Termination Rates (FTR) are exactly the same in NZ. We don’t
differentiate. Currently they’re both 15c/minute (due to decline by
another cent in April next year).

In the US it's user pays - so if someone calls you then you
pay to receive the call. That's why their plans are in minutes. The
minutes are in AND out.
In OZ, Orange (now Three/3) tried it on their CDMA network,
but it never took off. They restricted it to a location (ie. it did some
checking that you were within a certain physical area). In Oz the legal
requirements are that a geographic number is tied to a physical location (well,
kind of, it's wierd), so I guess the legality of it is difficult.
The other thing, which is a bit hidden, is that carriers
receive MUCH more revenue for call termination on mobile than land line.
In Oz it's 9-12c/min for mobile but 1c/min for PSTN (or there abouts).
The question in my mind is - it's easy enough to forward
calls from a land line (call forward all) so if you're not willing to do that
and pay for the minutes, would you be willing to do it?

is there any nand experts on here? I just was just wondering
why none of the moblie phone providers have but local numbers on a cell like we
do in the states. I was just wondering not very familiar with NAND stuff here
in NZ.
