T-Mobile offers Wi-Fi calling
Hoping to persuade more Americans to drop their land lines, T-Mobile is offering customers a new service that uses Wi-Fi networks to carry voice calls. T-Mobile says the service will improve indoor coverage by automatically switching from the cellular network to a home Wi-Fi setup. The service would work wherever an open wi-fi network is running.
Jupiter Research analyst Michael Gartenberg says Hotspot @ Home makes sense for consumers who want only one phone.
