Here's a WIFI question

[SandAngel]

We al know that as of now you can do the WIFI from other countries to call back US.


My question is....is that because it's somehow locking into the USA OR is it the actual US phone number.

So if i was in China using my TMO wifi and I called my friend visiting in Berlin on her US Tmo wifi US phone ...what would happen with charges.

With her picking it up with HER on WIFI?

With her picking it up through local carrier???

the network doesnt care where you are.......because you not using their towers.....for all they know your at home......

If your friend was on WIFI TOO......and had the TMO UMA......FREE FREE FREE......if through a local carriers towers...shes gonna incur the intl. roaming

Thanks

SO.... USA TMO WIFI to USA TMO WIFI no matter where BOTH phones are located is FREE.

I was just wondering because I knew about other countries back to the USA(as in country) but didn't know if it was USA COUNTRY or USA Phone Numbers

no as long as your uma to uma your golden...........even if say they were rogers youde be good...since rogers supports UMA....as does BELL

You are calling from a USA phone number to a USA phone number. Your charges do not depend on where her phone is physically located, and vice versa.

If you are on UMA/WiFi, your phone thinks it is in your living room. If you are on UMA/WiFi in a Beijing hotel, your phone still thinks it is in your living room. If you walk out of the hotel onto the street, your phone will connect to the local GSM network and you will be charged international roaming rates for any calls. Whether or not you're on UMA, people calling you are unaffected by the fact you've brought your phone to China.

The same is true of your friend. If your friend is on UMA/WiFi in a Berlin hotel, her phone thinks it is in her living room. If she walks out of the hotel onto the street, her phone will connect to the local GSM network and she will be charged international roaming rates for any calls. Whether or not she is on UMA, you are unaffected by the fact she brought her phone to Germany.
