Question on Katalyst WiFi
So, if I got the Katalyst, would I be able to access wifi internet and surf the web using wifi for free? or is it only set up to make VOiP calls with hotspot add on?

The Katalyst does NOT have a web browser and therefore cannot us Wi-Fi to browse the web. It only has WAP access using T-zones.
To correct your statement Hotspot@Home does NOT utilize VOIP, it is UMA.
To utilize Wi-Fi for web browsing you would need a web enabled handset, like the Curve for Wi-Fi and @Home service. Or the Dash, Shadow, and Wing for only Wi-Fi web.

UMA
Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) provides access to cellular mobile voice and data services over unlicensed spectrum technologies, such Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (802.11).
A UMA phone will use a cellular networks (GSM, CDMA, etc.) when out and about, and automatically switch to a UMA-enabled Bluetooth or Wi-Fi local network when in range, such as at home or in the office.
In local mode, a complete, virtual GSM or CDMA connection is "tunneled" to the carrier via the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection and the Internet. This allows seamless, transparent use of all services at all times, including voice, messaging, and data services.
This hybrid approach allows fulls mobility, while offering consumers better coverage, faster data rates, and...

My husband got the Katalyst and returned it because no one could get the WiFi to work. He's a network admin and although technical support tried to fix it, it wouldn't connect.
Just sayin'.
