Set Up T-Mobile Cell Phone for WiFi
While cell phone provider T-Mobile offers a 3G network for Internet and email access, many of its newer phones offer the option of connecting to the Internet via any Wi-Fi hotspot. If you subscribe to the T-Mobile@Home service, you can even make calls over a Wi-Fi network without using your minutes. If you want to access this function, you'll need to spend some time setting up your phone, but the savings on your 3G data plan will more than make up for it.
