T-Mobile Agrees on Wi-Fi Calling for BlackBerry Smartphones Wi-Fi Push Offer Available to Corporate Customers Only for Now

A new wireless service is available from T-Mobile but you d have to be a
corporate customer willing to play nice with a RIM phone to take
advantage of it. T-Mobile is ready for a bold move in the mobile
business. It will let those corporate BlackBerry owners make calls over
Wi-Fi as long as they are at the office.

Does all that sound like it s too good to be true? Well it does but if
you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Everybody wins in the end:
T-Mobile, your company, RIM and you! T-Mobile is trying to grab some
more corporate clients and thus it needs some edge over its main
competitors Verizon Wireless and AT T. So why not support Wi-Fi-push
calls especially since T-Mobile s 3G network is still young and
relatively limited in the U.S. markets.

The companies that will chose the service will be able to significantly
lower their monthly T-Mobile costs. T-Mobile will definitely charge some
extra fees for the Wi-Fi push service but, overall, your company will
still save some money.

RIM will sell even more BlackBerry phones to the companies interested in
T-Mobile s new offer. The new Wi-Fi plan would work only for BlackBerry
users which means corporate clients will have to ignore Apple s iPhone
or Android and Windows Mobile smartphones and start buying Berries instead.

In the end you win too. RIM s phones are dependable tools and they seem
perfectly designed to suit the needs of a busy person. Couple a
BlackBerry with a wireless network and you ll be able to do anything you
want: make and receive calls, send emails and work on important
documents, you name it and it s almost possible.

I almost forgot to mention the Internet provider. Well it s safe to say
that your company s broadband provider will be more than happy to
upgrade your plan and install better routers in your building once you
decide to go with T-Mobile s offer.

What happens when you walk out of the building? Will the call drop? Well
it won t since it will automatically switch from Wi-Fi to T-Mobile s
network. Isn t that something to think about? It s sort of a femtocell
solution but one that doesn t come with a ridiculous price and a silly
monthly plan to make up for a less than satisfying 3G network! Can you
guess what femtocell solution I am referring to? (Hint: the carrier
selling it also offers lots of dropped calls to a certain out-of-the-box
phone!)
