T-Mobile has an answer for consumers itching to get rid of their landline phone but worry about weak cellular coverage or costs. The No.4 U.S. mobile carrier is now offering a home Wi-Fi calling service, which would make switching calls from cellular networks to Wi-Fi possible, thus boosting indoor coverage. The service will cost subscribers $19.99 per line or $29.99 for five lines, in addition to the regular monthly cellular fee, and allows for unlimited calls from home or in almost 8,500 places with T-Mobile's presence. Compatible handsets include Samsung's t409 and Nokia 6086, which the company plans to sell online and in its stores.
