Nokia and Motorola the world’s biggest branded handset makers, both unveiled phones this week that switch between cellular coverage outdoors and cheap wireless Internet calls inside — all on a single phone number.

The new hardware is a response to growing demand. Mobile networks, aware that they can’t beat Internet call operators like Skype for cheap indoor coverage, are itching to join them.

The new Nokia 6136 and Motorola A910 handsets, like a handful of others announced by smaller manufacturers in recent months, can connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi, rather than Bluetooth, to make cut-price calls from the home, office or public hotspot.

Other mobile operators have waited for the Wi-Fi phones before adopting the technology behind the mid-call switching between broadband and cellular networks, called Unlicensed Mobile Access.
