T-Mobile USA plans to bring back its Bobsled Facebook-calling service, which was shut down shortly after its launch, early next week.
Last month, the carrier held a glitzy party to show off the new service, which allowed PC users to make free Internet-based phone calls to their Facebook contacts. But less than a week after its April 19 launch, T-Mobile had to shutter the service because of confusion that Bobsled was an official Facebook program.
"We are voluntarily and temporarily suspending the Bobsled service as we work with our partners at Facebook to address their design questions, including working to ensure that the Bobsled experience is clearly differentiated and is not mistaken for a Facebook created property," T-Mobile said in a statement.
T-Mobile, however, has been making changes and plans to relaunch the service on Monday or Tuesday, according to a spokesman.
The spokesman declined to comment on the changes that were made.
