T-Mobile USA launches short-range Wi-Fi network service for mobile customers

T-Mobile USA is the fourth largest mobile service provider in the United States. The company faces still competition from AT&T as they launch the much awaited Apple iPhone later this month.

T-Mobile has now said that they are launching a new service for their customers which would allow them to use short-range Wi-Fi networks to improve reception when needed.

The company added that this new service would improve indoor coverage by automatically swapping calls from the cellular network to run over Wi-Fi.

Interested customers would be required to pay an extra fee of up to $19.99 or $29.99 for five lines on top of regular monthly cellular bills.

This would be applicable for unlimited calls in a subscriber’s home. The service would also be available at around 8,500 places T-Mobile runs Wi-Fi.

Jupiter Research analyst Michael Gartenberg spoke on this new service launch: “At that point it becomes a very strong incentive to get rid of the landline. If you have to keep your landline in addition, unless you’re planning on talking on your cell phone a lot, the extra $20 may not make sense.”
