Orange plans to launch Unik mobile phone with Wi-Fi

Orange Monday plans to offer mobile phones that can also make VoIP calls over a home Wi-Fi router, joining a growing number of European network operators offering similar services.

The new service will be available to Orange customers who subscribe to both its GSM mobile phone network and its DSL broadband Internet access service. Using a special mobile phone costing from €99 ($200), they will be able to make unlimited calls from home, connecting via Wi-Fi to their Livebox DSL home router. When they are outdoors, calls will be carried over Orange's GSM network at the usual rates.

Similar services combining GSM and Wi-Fi are available elsewhere in Europe, including BT Group's Fusion, launched in the U.K. last year, Deutsche Telekom's T-One, which opened in Germany in August, and TeliaSonera's service Home Free, now available in Denmark.
