T-Mobile USA is going to launch next week a $10-a-month broadband VoIP service that will be available to T-Mobile wireless subscribers. The VoIP service is called T-Mobile@Home, granting users unlimited local and long-distance calls over a broadband connection. They've partnered with Cisco's Linksys for the $50 ATA device to connect analog phones.
Features include the usual suspects: call waiting, caller ID, three-way conferencing, voicemail and call forwarding. You will be able port your existing home phone number, and you can also add a second voice line.
The move poses a challenge to traditional carriers, cable TV operators that offer bundled services, and and single-play VoIP providers like Vonage and Packet8.
This is T-Mobile USA's first foray into the fixed line market after being exclusively wireless.

Since many years, I have been a TMob fan, now with consilidation this is great all in one billing feature, bi bi to local landline services and local high taxes; much better and less money vs Vonage, Sunrocket Pakt8 and other VoIP services...
I signed up and received the modem in two days - installed, very easy, activated and now just waiting for local landline numbers to be ported. Seems TMobile was not ready for so many phone calls, customer support is very slow...as they still are using the wireless customer service support deks who are not cross trained to handle router setup phones...great investmeant and money saving service.
TMobile keep up the good and new innovative service.
