T-Mobile, meanwhile, is focusing instead on a 9-month-old service called HotSpot@Home, which uses Wi-Fi to carry cellular phone calls inside a house. The service is cheaper but requires customers to buy a HotSpot Wi-Fi-enabled phone such as a BlackBerry Pearl or Curve.
This is defenitely an alternative to save money on phone calls or internet browsing. I am personally using a BlackBerry Curve 8320 which comes with WiFi support as well. First of all, it is convenient as you can have fast internet access at any WiFi area, which is currently at home and at the office. Especially for trying some really really cool BlackBerry software or browsing BlackBerry blogs. This may end up in high costs for data transfer if you are not using the ‘actually’ free WiFi connection.
Additionally, I am using calling cards for making calls to international numbers. You can use them for inland numbers as well, of course! It is really cheap and I save about 80% on IDD calls. Just to make it convenient: Fortunately, I got a reviewing version of BerryDialer at no cost 
for evaluation purposes. It works pretty well and I can recommend it. I am using it since quite a while now, and it’s a nice peace of softwarre. (Hint: use the 20% discount coupon ‘bbinsight20′ to get it discounted!) Anyway, the point is: I save costs with calling cards.
Summary:
- Use WiFi where you to avoid additional costs.
- Use calling cards to save costs on phone calls.
