Comments on: T-Mobile's home phone service goes nationwide

Mobile operator's @Home Internet phone service will be available to all T-Mobile wireless subscribers starting next week.

I've been in both test markets for this service, but I was unable to get it because T-Mobile's billing system looks at this service / add-on as a sixth line if your T-Mobile family plan is maxed out with five mobiles already. Hopefully they have this worked out, because a lot of potential early adopters in Dallas and Seattle were not able to get T-Mobile @Home VoIP.

I've got voip now, from Viatalk, which is working fairly well for me. My favorite thing is the online control panel - being able to selectively forward calls, block calls, listen to voicemail, have voicemails emailed to me, etc. I really like that. Anyone know if Tmobile's voip will have something similar?

As a Blackberry 8320 user and customer of T-Mobile (refugee from AT&T, Sprint and Verizon), I have two comments:

* T-Mobile customer service appears to be the best in the industry -- by far
* The UMA Wi-Fi phones are fantastic; you can be in, say, a large building where cell coverage is limited -- but has a hotspot -- and while everyone else is out of commission, you're in business

I've had the T-Mobile Home VoIP service for a few months now (Dallas.) At first the service was quite shoddy, but improved greatly with the Linksys firmware upgrade to 1.00.04 on their co-branded WRTU54G-TM. The router came out-of-the-box with version 1.00.01 and I manually upgraded it to 1.00.02 from the Linksys web site. I was surprised to know that, even after I had changed the default password, T-Mobile had a back-door to the router and upgraded it to 1.00.04, and notified me via a voice-mail message that I needed to power-cycle the router in order to "complete the upgrade process." Since the upgrade, I'm glad to report that the service has worked almost flawlessly. Make sure you invest in a small ($30) UPS to keep both your DSL/Cable modem and Router protected in case of a power outage...

This is great news T-Mobile possibly offer a more woeful selection of phones. I think Home service also have a T-Mobile cell phone subscription limits the safety concerns.
