The terms and details of the announcement are not yet known, but we hear that this is going to arrive at the same time that the iTunes store will be turned on for the iPhone.

The ability to purchase and downloads songs on the iPhone! Eureka! Over Wi-Fi?!?! Good Lord!

The No.4 U.S. mobile carrier is now offering a home Wi-Fi calling service, which would make switching calls from cellular networks to Wi-Fi possible, thus boosting indoor coverage. The service will cost subscribers $19.99 per line or $29.99 for five lines, in addition to the regular monthly cellular fee, and allows for unlimited calls from home or in almost 8,500 places with T-Mobile’s presence. Compatible handsets include Samsung’s t409 and Nokia 6086, which the company plans to sell online and in its stores.
