T-Mobile to pull the plug on the @Home phone service

See the lovely duo in the pic above? Well, you'd better print it and hang it, as T-Mobile is canning the @Home service -- but will, however, continue to support it. The service was launched in early July 2008 and allowed you to get unlimited calling via your broadband connection for only $10 on top of your wireless bill. The only reason given in a statement from T-Mobile on Fierce Wireless was "The needs of our customers are constantly changing, and T-Mobile must foresee and adapt to these changes." It's expected T-Mobile will continue selling the service while supplies last, so if you want in, you'd better pony up your cash tout de suite.

I think this is a pretty foolish decision. $10/month unlimited phone service is a great deal for consumers ($15 cheaper than Vonage and much less than you CableCo or PhoneCo). If their not making money on it why not just charge a little more? $15 even $20 it would still be a great deal and it really helps people like me who have poor cell service at home. This was one of the main reasons why I switched to T-Mobile and I'll might be leaving once they fully discontinue service (unless UMA becomes more ubiquitous).

I love my @home phone service, after all the tax and bs its still around 20 dollars max. That beats paying almost 30 dollars a month for basic quest service any day.
