In the beginning of this year, T-Mobile premiered its HD Voice at CES (News - Alert) Las Vegas, where attendees were shown a brief demo of its call quality in a 30 second clip. Today, T-Mobile has just revealed that its iPhone 5 will now support this HD voice feature along with its no-contract plans that have begun to sweep the industry.

T-Mobile’s (News - Alert) new HD Voice feature is also debuting at a time when a monumental moment in mobile services has occurred because of the company’s new no-contract plans. For just $70 a month, customers can get unlimited text and data as opposed to AT&T (News - Alert) and Verizon’s two-year contract plans that cost around $100 a month. This will be the first iPhone ever to support HD Voice.

Not only has T-Mobile completely revolutionized mobile services as we know it with its new no-contract plans, but it has also expanded to reach into voice technology. This new feature improvises in-call voice quality for customers with smartphones, and if you just listened to the clip on YouTube (News - Alert), the company is not lying. By showing the significance of HD quality through the comparison of the voice with and without it, users are able to notice how much clearer HD quality sounds in a simple thirty second frame.

Despite developments being made in social media and Web-based communications, voice is still the number one way to communicate, which makes the development of HD voice even more important. By comparing the voice with and without HD capabilities, users can really understand and identify how much clearer HD quality sounds. Furthermore, by using wideband codecs, companies are able to create a wider frequency range, which provides almost the same clarity of face-to-face conversation.

With T-Mobile’s new iPhone (News - Alert) with HD voice and a no-contract offering, it makes us wonder if it will become the most sought-out mobile service in the industry. As it begins to change the playing field, it will be interesting to see how other big competitors follow T-Mobile’s lead.
