T-Mobile subscribers will be able to make unlimited local and long distance calls from their home phones using the VoIP phone service dubbed T-Mobile HotSpot @Home Talk Forever Home Phone

Customers sign a two-year contract and buy a HotSpot @Home wireless router for $49.99. Regular corded or wireless home phones can plug into the router, and it will also be compatible with Wi-Fi- enabled cell phones.

T-Mobile's move is the latest in a transition toward merging traditional landline and mobile phone services.
