The horror! T-Mobile drops one of its best spokeswomen for the brand?! Ridiculous! Where else are we going to turn to for that alluring “T-Mobile Family plan” that rolls so smoothly out of someone’s mouth?

T-Mobile USA is expected to launch a host of new services, including a new generation of Internet phones, to attract customers away from both wireless and land-line phone companies — and it plans to drop its celebrity pitchwoman, Catherine Zeta-Jones.

The company plans to release cellphones as early as October that can roam onto wireless Internet connections at home and in T-Mobile’s thousands of Wi-Fi hot spots, people familiar with the company’s plans say. Other U.S. cellular carriers are considering offering similar products, but T-Mobile is leading the way. And it may become the first U.S. carrier to provide a Vonage-like Internet calling service, these people said. Both services could mean less-expensive monthly phone bills for millions of consumers.

Oh yeah, and T-Mobile is going to be rolling out Wi-fi enabled cellphones. Trust me, these handsets rock. Imagine saving minutes while making phone calls from your handset on your home network or public hotspots! Technology has come so far. The transition between GSM and Wi-fi calling is as smooth as silk.

    Maybe they could bring back VoiceStream pitch lady Jamie Lee Curtis… however she probably isn’t as hot as she was.
