UMA calling.
I think I read somewhere on the forums that TMO charges an additional fee for UMA. Is this true?

That's only if you want unlimited UMA minutes. Otherwise the minutes you use are taken out of your regular pool of minutes.

The additional feature is called "Unlimited HotSpot Calling" which currently is $9.99 per month for unlimited UMA calling... otherwise it will be taken out of your calling plan's minutes.

I thought UMA was just that... unlicensed. As in, if you connect it to your home router, it doesnt use up your minutes.

Biggest reason most people use UMA, even if they do not have a hot spot feature on their plan is that UMA doesn't drop calls as much as being on your network towers especially if your in an area that doesn't have much coverage.
& yes CB gets some real activity not like other forums & other Question sites.
:P
& for the post above me. That's only if you have the Hot spot calling feature for $9.99 & is only available to Post Paid accounts.Last edited by rlacsamana19; 09-07-2009 at 10:14 PM.

Guest09-08-2009, 09:58 AM #13 use my UMA link....you need to change your beacon intervals.....set priorities....and change your routers tx channel....the tx channel seems to be the single biggest improvement...increasing your SNR (signal to noise ratio) really makes it soooo much easier for your phone to get a good solid connection.....remeber UMA is NOT AT ALL tolerant of packet loss.......so even small changes will make huge diffences......same goes for those finding themselves contantly getting *call failed* or dropping form UMA to edge.....
