What will T-mobile charge for minutes over WiFi? I guess it uses the T-mo hotspots. I think I would rather run Skype for less money. AT&T lets me use their wifi spots for 1.99/month. It would be nice to have one number/voicemail etc.]]>Aug 1st 2006 4:43PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/Aug 1st 2006 4:56PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/

For the UMA services, you need software runs on cell phone and network as well.

I found a link www.umatechnology.org, you may have more information. www.kineto.com is a company behinds the technology.]]>Aug 2nd 2006 8:49AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/
TMo probably won't charge too much for this as it's to their advantage for users to use UMA.

the rest of operation will be exactly same as current 2G network.
The best advantage is they don't need to invest more money to build tower anymore.]]>Aug 2nd 2006 11:57AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/Aug 2nd 2006 1:41PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/Aug 2nd 2006 11:30PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/how operators deploy policies on roaming.

Even there is no GSM existing but WI-FI, the UMA allows user to connect to GSM network.]]>Aug 3rd 2006 1:22AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/
International roaming. You can make free calls from any wifi from outside the US (free to T-Mobile, they might want to charge you some money for it, but considering they are a smart company it wont be much. Think about it, you just have to hit the GSM network and until then you are travelling over internet. So, no roaming agreements needed as long as calls are wifi originated. Those who understand GSM will get this benefit better)

Free calls from wifi within the US. What may this cover? Not only your home, maybe school, work, public library (use at your own risk), coffee shop etc. How about this: ANY OTHER STORE CAN START ADVERTISING FREE WIFI CALLS AND ATTRACT CUSTOMERS JUST LIKE A LOT OF THEM ALREADY ARE OFFERING FREE WIFI INTERNET BROWSING.

How about quality, from home, the quality will be awesome. You wont need a home phone again (for those of you who have one). Your home phone is the UMA phone which will be travelling with you.

For those who think that during a wifi session, internet browising on phones doesnt work, get it checked out before blaming that service is not allowed. It has to be allowed according to www.umatechnology.org, and if T-Mobile and other vendors are able to get voice over wifi, what makes you think they cant get data.

Why do you think T-Mobile wants to push this UMA service out? Because they are a smart service provider with excellent technical decision making brains.

DONT COMPARE THIS TO ANY OTHER JUNK TECHNOLOGY, SKYPE ETC. BECAUSE IF YOU DO, AGAIN, YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE TECHNOLOGY. THIS ONE LETS YOU MAKE WIFI CALLS ON AN EXISTING GSM NETWORK.

And those who think it is just the handset that will enable this calling WHAT? How can you because then you would have every service provider trialing this, not T-Mobile. It needs network. Handset alone cannot do it.

And I think some people doubt the network stability, read this and you might want to switch from cingular.

However... now that you have the router... will that provide free internet access? (i.e. to laptops)

The service costs $20 additional, and you have to have a plan of $39.99 or more. Which isn't bad, considering the cheapest myFaves plan is $39.99.

So for $59.99, you will get unlimited nights, unlimited weekends, unlimited calling to 5 phone numbers, unlimited in-home calling, unlimited hot spot calling... (i'm sure t-mobile will put SOME sort of restriction). And you get perfect signal in your house. Which means... no more home phone number. The cheapest is probably around $20 no? Plus some providers charge extra for national long distance, for caller id, for voicemail, etc. And you get to have the same phone number. But will you have internet access as well? Cuz if the D-Link router will enable it, then you're saving another $25+ in not needing to subscribe DSL-speed internet (even dial up, the cheapest has GOT to be around 5 or 10 bucks)


Will the internet be free????

I can't wait to get out of Cingular's dumb contract and switch over to T-Mobile, my secret love]]>Apr 23rd 2007 1:54PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/May 3rd 2007 6:10PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/08/01/t-mobiles-uma-goodies-exposed/May 15th 2007 3:46AM
