While the big telecom companies focus on taking away your cell phone budget, T-Mobile is now trying to tap into what Sprint, AT&T and Verizon have kept to themselves until now: landline telephony.
T-Mobile's 30GB data plan for just $10/month
The new T-Mobile @Home service, advertised for the very low price of $10 per month, is an Internet phone service that allows you to make unlimited local and long distance calls at home. The call quality may be better than your cell phone.
“With T-Mobile @Home, we are addressing the remaining reasons why people are reluctant to 'cut the cord' and cancel their landline,” said T-Mobile.
T-Mobile added: "With our initial HotSpot @Home service, we found that nearly half of the people who signed up were new customers. [While they] were pleased with the overall adoption of the service, [they wanted to] remove the last hurdle to getting landline customers on board. Today, about 80 percent of households still have a landline."
