HotSpot @Home is the newest one-stop-shop offering from T-Mobile USA, combining the power of Wi-Fi and T-Mobile's nationwide voice and data network, and allowing subscribers to gab as much as they want at home without burning minutes. The carrier says its customers can use their cellphones in a VoIP manner while at home or in a T-Mobile hot-spot-enabled area, and then switch back to the GSM/GPRS/EDGE wireless network when they exit hot-spot coverage. Calls also transfer from T-Mobile's network onto Wi-Fi.
T-Mobile HotSpot @Home is a first-of-its-kind service . Key components of the T-Mobile HotSpot @Home service include new mobile phones designed to seamlessly connect the user to a home Wi-Fi connection or T-Mobile HotSpot. The Samsung t409 and the Nokia 6086 are the first to market, each retailing for $49.99 with a two-year contract on a qualifying rate plan.
T-Mobile also partnered with router manufacturers D-Link and Linksys for Wi-Fi routers optimized for a first-rate calling experience with the T-Mobile HotSpot @Home service. These select routers are designed for simple setup and enhanced battery life for the handset, and T-Mobile says they help ensure voice calls are carried "with the utmost call quality." These routers have commonly available data features found on standard routers, and they reportedly work with customers' existing broadband connection. Consumers can choose which router to use with the service; each is currently offered at no charge with the HotSpot @Home service via mail-in rebate.
For a limited time, to kick off the launch of T-Mobile HotSpot @Home, the service can be added to any qualifying T-Mobile voice plan for only $9.99 per month for a single line, and $19.99 per month for up to five lines on a FamilyTime plan. This means five family members each can have unlimited calling from home over Wi-Fi for one price, when the service is added to a qualifying FamilyTime plan.
