"Really it solves a problem that's been around for a while. People are not wanting to have a landline phone anymore. Thirty percent of young people have just left landline phones altogether. So they're really looking for a wireless phone that can do it all. And we took the time to invent a wireless phone that works over our wireless network when you're running around and when you come home, it works over your wireless network.
