Thoughts? The one person I know who has it loves it, but I feel like I need a bigger sample size.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think, as is, it's probably best for single users, rather than people who'd benefit from a family plan. I pay $30/month for unlimited talk and text and 1GB of data. If you go over your allotment, they pro-rate the charge. If you don't use the full allotment, they credit it toward your bill.
I have had times when my phone just doesn't ring and I miss a call, but that's been true of other services I've had. I had to call customer support a couple of times when I was getting it set up, and they were immediately available and very helpful.
It's pretty much perfect for me.

Sounds good. My family doesn't use mobile devices so it is really just me.

I was skeptical but I do really like my paperweight. I was worried I'd miss the actual page turn button but I don't.

Our wings are not tired.
So DH's latest project is making the house Smart. This apparently is a big deal for the house buyers in our area. He has done a lot of research and is convinced it won't be that difficult but is still weighing pros and cons of this system and that. Yes, I had to watch him changing the water temperature from the living room last night.
So, would anyone with knowledge in this area mind fielding some questions from him? (Gud!) His main concerns seem to be around interoperability among the various devices.
