T-Mobile has decided to dip its toe into the home VoIP market. T-Mobile is testing a service in Dallas and Seattle that will allow its wireless customers to add a VoIP home phone line for just $10. The offer is only available to T-Mobile customer with a Hotspot account. A Hotspot account allows you to make calls without using any plan minutes if your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network. You obviously need a Wi-Fi enabled cell phone. The main idea of the Hotspot plan was to make it free to use your cell phone at home by routing calls over your Wi-Fi network rather then through the cellular network. Many people have cancelled their home phone service and gone exclusively cellular. However, without a regular home line, you can only use your cell phone to make and receive calls. This isn’t always convenient. Adding a VoIP line to your Hotspot account will give you a more traditional home phone line that will work with any regular phone.
