T-Mobile Hotspot @Home Price Changes

Back in December I did a quick review on T-Mobile’s Hotspot @Home (now called HotSpot@Home Talk Forever Mobile Add-on) service where you can make unlimited calling on your cell phone plan using WiFi. They offered a price for $9.99 per month for a single phone and $19.99 per month for a family in addition to your normal monthly minutes plan. Apparently those were promo prices, since shortly after my review they went to $19.99 per month for a single phone and $29.99 per month for a family. Well it appears T-Mobile has thought twice about this change and have made things even simplier and cheaper. Now it is only $9.99 for unlimited WiFi calls for a single phone AND family.

This isn’t bad considering if you have a bunch phones on a family plan all those people can make unlimited WiFi calls for only ten bucks a month extra. Now this essentialy does replace your current home phone. Plus it lets you keep your teenagers from plowing through their minutes while at home or near a T-Mobile hotspot. One question people ask is that does this service give you access to all the T-Mobile hotspots? The answer is yes, but for phone calls only. All T-Mobiles Hotspot @Home phones are preprogrammed to automatically connect to T-Mobile hotspots for placing and receiving calls. If you want to use your laptop at one you will still need to pay for the service like usual.

 I have been using this service and I love it. The calls are very clear and I like having the flexibility of only one phone number. If you think to yourself, well I hate having that phone up to my head all day, try one of these:

The xlink connects to your home phone and your cell phone via bluetooth. This allows you to use your original home phone to make and receive calls on your cell phone. I love this thing. Both my and my wife’s phone hook up to it (it supports up to 3 cell phones at once). So when we are at home we can use your cordless phone instead of having to use the actual cell phone. Plus when an inbound cell phone call comes in it rings all of our cordless phones so we don’t have to race through the house trying to find where we left the cell phone. The xlink makes the connection to your home phone seamless, you just pick up your phone and start dialing. Call waiting/caller id all work with your existing home phone like normal. This in addition to the Hotspot @Home Service makes us not miss our old SBC line at all.


I am happy to see that T-Moblie is differientiating themselves from the other wireless carriers by offering these types of services. I have been a long time customer and plan to be for much longer.
