TMobile is announcing UMA - not sure which phones will support it, but, routing calls to your number over wifi. Still costs the airtime, but, allows people that aren't within range of a cell tower, or in a building where reception is bad -- or in a foreign country near a wifi hotspot to still get their calls.

I would suppose that the other carriers may follow suit in mid to late 2011.
