T-Mobile USA launched a new mobile service that allows its mobile customers to make low cost calls via WiFi through home base stations and their broadband Internet connection, or through T-Mobile's 8500 public hotspots in the USA.

Calls are handed over seamlessly from cellular to WiFi when the user moves into range of a WiFi base station and vice versa. However the tariff applied to the call wil be the one for the network on which it was initiated.

"More people than ever are looking to drop their home landline phone and pocket the savings. However, they don't want to use all their wireless minutes talking from home. Our new service solves this dilemma once and for all," said Robert Dotson.

The service is being launched with a choice of two WiFi enabled cellphones: the Samsung t409 and the Nokia 6086, both at $US49.99 with a two-year contract on a qualifying rate plan.
