T-Mobile plans to offer a Wi-Fi calling service for corporate users that automatically switches BlackBerry devices to its cellular network if users move out of a hotspot zone during an Internet call.
Unlike rival AT&T, which tries to protect its traditional landline business, T-Mobile is a completely wireless operator that would not cannibalize fixed-line revenue. T-Mobile, the nation's fourth-largest wireless carrier, has been struggling in recent years, competing with Sprint and smaller carriers for lower-profit prepaid subscribers while AT&T and Verizon have attracted valuable contract-signing customers. The company has increased spending, such as its 4G network expansion, to catch up in the high-end corporate segment. Last month, reports surfaced that Deutsche Telekom, the parent company of T-Mobile, was considering a bid for Sprint in a deal that could merge both struggling businesses into one. T-Mobile currently offers a similar residential service, called T-Mobile @Home, for unlimited nationwide Wi-Fi calling at home.
