June 25th, 2008T-Mobile to Launch VoIP Service
T-Mobile is close to launching their T-Mobile@Home VoIP service, which is expected to compete with AT&T, Verizon, and Vonage. The new service will start at $10/month for unlimited nationwide calling. From the NY Times:
T-Mobile@Home transmits calls from the phone handset through a $50 T-Mobile router to the Internet, where voice-over-Internet-protocol technology is used to complete the call. Customers are allowed to keep their existing home phone number. At the same time, said Chief Executive Robert Dotson, they can get the same services they get from mobile phones, such as personalized ring tones.

This is good for those people trying to consolidate their bills, now they can have it all with t-mobile, for home and cell phone. now that Callvantage is not accepting more customers and apparently is dying, T-mobile won’t have that much big guys competition.
