I was talking with a TMobile CS rep yesterday and he mentioned that MAYBE by the end of the year, there will be an adapter out you can hook into your DSL/Cable internet connection for cell service at home. This would almost be like a mini cell site right at your house.

Anyone ever hear of this? It is a neat concept, and would help me as I get no service at home with my TMobile work phone. A mini site hooked into my DSL (Soon to be cable) would be great.

Yes, I have heard about it. November, maybe. I don't know any details of the service, or devices, etc.

There will also be some wort of GSM/GPRS/WiFi combination too.

Sounds exciting to me! I have good coverage at my place, but it still would be pretty neat!

It is neat! I would have coverage at home finally!

Really, you would be hosting a cell site. I'm sure there is a range.....and people outside could probably use your site as well. I wonder how that would work....

Kinda like a personal BDA. I would think the power output would be like that of a Wi-Fi Router...maybe only a range of 300-500 feet...

Here's a link to the technology consortium working on GSM/WiFi. TM and Cingular are members, and BT says they will have a device out by the end of the year.

Nice find Matt......now will Cingular and TMobile have the technology ready to deploy when the device comes out? i.e. the UMA network controller.

I can't wait to get voice and data service at home on my TMobile line.

We'll see - this might be the first handset:

Out of curiousity, would this replace/include/parallel Vonage VoIP service? I have Vonage at the moment, but if T-Mobile makes this available I'd rather save the money and go with them! Aint technology grand!!!

Matt · 05-12-2005, 9:07 PM

I think somehow you T-Mobile call would hop onto your home network, so I guess Vonage would not be needed - you would need some sort of braodband Internet, but no VOIP.
