T-Mobile To Roll out Hotspot @Home "Talk Forever"

An anonymous tipster told Engadget that T-Mobile is readying the next phase HotSpot @Home service called “Talk Forever” . The service promises to bridge your broadband to your cell and you home phone through a special router equipped with 2 SIM cards.  More information details were found on the T-Mobile internal training site. The new service will start in Seattle and Dallas shortly.

• The HotSpot @Home Talk Forever Home Phone service provides digital calling (also known as Voice over IP or VoIP) to T-Mobile customers. The Talk Forever Home Phone plan provides customers unlimited nationwide calling for one low price.
• The HotSpot @Home Talk Forever Wireless Routers are exclusive to T-Mobile; no other Wi-Fi routers provide customers with Talk Forever Home Phone service.
• Customers may use their existing home phone unit with the HotSpot @Home Wireless Router with Home Phone Connection.
• For maximum voice quality, it is recommended that customers use a wired phone or a cordless home phone that does not operate at 2.4 GHz.
• Cordless phones that operate at 2.4 GHz may experience interference with Wi-Fi routers.
• The Wireless Router is capable of handling up to two SIM cards and two separate home phone lines.
• Customers MUST provide a valid 911 address due to FCC regulations, see HotSpot @Home Talk Forever Home Phone 911 Addresses for more information.
• During the test market period, customers may purchase the service at:
  o T-Mobile retail stores
  o Retail Partner sales
  o Best Buy
  o 1-800-T-MOBILE (Telesales).
  o CIHU: Care reps can only upgrade customers via CIHU if those customers wish to convert one of their existing GSM lines to a Talk Forever Home Phone line.
• Customers who have purchased equipment at one of these channels may activate their SIM by contacting Activations.
