It's a reasonable question! I'm past the baby monitor stage now, but when we used our Nanit from a different network it was for things like:

* Doing garage or yard work where Wifi coverage was spotty. May seem like an edge case but remember that when baby is sleeping is exactly when you want to be doing things like yard work.

* Hanging out across the street cooking out with the neighbors while baby sleeps

* Having a couple drinks at the hotel bar on vacation after baby goes to sleep. You're only ~30 seconds from your room if baby wakes up, but it's nice to not have to sit in a dark room for the whole evening after 7pm.
