T-Mobile’s USA subscribers, who use one of the mobile phones that support unlicensed mobile access (UMA) technology, can now make unlimited calls over the Wi-Fi for free.
Earlier, the service was free of charge, but the company then started deducting in-plan minutes for customers, but now again the service is available free of cost.
“T-Mobile is excited to expand our Wi-Fi Calling feature, a unique and valuable service T-Mobile has been offering customers for over three years. Starting today, T-Mobile customers can add Free Wi-Fi Calling to their rate plan – at no additional charge – to place calls over Wi-Fi without deducting from their allotment of minutes. This new feature is available at T-Mobile retail stores to all customers on Even More and Even More Plus Postpaid rate plans who have Wi-Fi Calling capable handsets,” the company said in a statement.
The carrier’s customes need to subscribe to "Even More" and "Even More Plus" postpaid rate plans to avail this feature.
The company’s new offering is seen by many as one of the ways to entice existing customers who worry that AT&T acquiring T-Mobile could result in price increase.
