| T-Mobile USA has revealed that it's testing a new Internet telephony service in Dallas and Seattle that will offer home landline telephone service. The service will allow subscribers to connect any regular home telephone to a T-Mobile router that will send calls over the Internet; which is very similar to the service that Vonage currently offers. There will be no need to change phone numbers because existing phone numbers can be transferred. The router required will also provide Internet access and will costs $50 after rebates. The service will cost a very low $10 per month plus taxes and fees for unlimited domestic local and long distance calls. However, that catch is that customers must also sign up for a T-Mobile wireless service costing at least $39.99 a month. It was rumored that T-Mobile had been working on this service because last summer it filed plans for the IP wireless router with the Federal Communications Commission. |  |
