The Samsung Katalyst phone offers built-in support for T-Mobile HotSpot @Home, offering users good wireless coverage when making calls over a home wi-fi network or even at T-Mobile’s 8,500-odd HotSpot locations across the world.
Moreover, when a customer leaves home or a T-Mobile HotSpot, their calls will be passed onto T-Mobile’s wireless network. The same holds true for passing calls onto Wi-Fi networks. Plus, on purchase of a HotSpot @Home add-on plan, customers will get unlimited nationwide calling over Wi-Fi.
