T-Mobile is launching a nationwide converged Wi-Fi and cellular service that allows special Nokia and Samsung phones to make calls over Wi-Fi in their homes or T-Mobile hotspots and on T-Mobile’s celluar network.

T-Mobile has been working on this service for around four years, said Mike Selman, T-Mobile director of marketing. The company began the project after asking customers what would make them give up their landline phones and rely only on their mobile. The answer they most commonly gave was that the phone had to work better in their home, he said.

Because cellular networks often don’t work as well indoors as outside, T-Mobile is using Wi-Fi to provide better service to customers in their homes.

Sounds pretty cool but T-Mobile should still work on increasing their cellular network. What do you think?
