I don't think other cell services have anything similar, but T-Mobile provides cell service over WiFi. You need a phone with a UMA modem (such as a Blackberry Curve 8320) and obviously an Internet connection. Their Hotspot at Home plan allows unlimited incoming and outgoing calls over any available WiFi Internet connection for a flat $10/month on top of the regular service plan. I have found the WiFi quality to be excellent - usually better than GSM cell reception around my home.
