After entering an unlimited voice price war with AT&T and Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile has pulled off another interesting move and decided to getting into the home phone game with VoIP.

It will be offering subscribers a router to connect to their home phone - it’s around $50 - and once the box is up and running, T-Mobile customers will be able to make local and long distance calls in the US for the price of $10, as long as they’re already existing mobile customers of T-Mobile.

The service is being tested in Dallas and Seattle. It sounds like a handy way for the operator to take on telcos with both a fixed and mobile business, but I’m not quite sure how it will sit alongside the companies all-you-can-eat mobile voice plans. Presumably one for the lighter users out there?
