T-Mobile’s VoIP Home Service: Goodbye to the PSTN

T-Mobile recently announced its new Talk Forever Home Service, an add-on to the HotSpot@Home fixed/mobile convergence (FMC) service that T-Mobile introduced in 2007. The service offers unlimited domestic VoIP calling from mobile handsets or fixed-line home phones for $10 per line and requires the purchase of a Wi-Fi-enabled, UMA (unlicensed mobile access) broadband router, the same Linksys router used in conjunction with the HotSpot@Home service. In addition, it provides the same set of calling features that is supported on wireless calling plans, at no extra charge.

This In-Stant Analysis answers questions such as:

  • Is this just another discounted domestic calling plan?

  • If not, what makes this offering so different?

  • Why aren’t other providers with wireline and wireless networks offering something similar?

  • How amenable are consumers to integrated fixed and mobile voice services?

  • What is the ramification of this product announcement on T-Mobile’s competitors? What will they need to do to counter its effects?

  • How will cable operators be specifically affected?

  • Where would T-Mobile be without this offering?
