uma/wifi usage question help!

[kontender]

ok. currently i'm located in eastern europe.

i got my bb8900 in LA,cal,usa. and my plan with t-mo

i called and spoke with a rep @ t-mo and they said if i use the uma signal to call TO the USA i WILL acquire international usage rates.

is this true?

if it is, is there any other way that i can call home using my stateside phone number without incurring all these international fees.

please help! any thoughts or suggestions would be great!

not true....not correct.....if you have the 9.99 hotspot.....and show UMA your good.....period

UMA in capital letters


But remember....... somebody has to be the first to crash and burn when TMO starts cracking down . Just keep a check on your bill every couple days just in case .

if they dare charge you I would go monkey pooh on em.....too many people on here have discussed this exact issue ad nauseam....

j/k.
i've been keeping an eye on my account online...the minutes are showing up without any extra charges. so far so good!

Switch off the Mobile Network radio entirely, this forces your phone to use only UMA/WiFi. Your calls will be billed exactly the same as in your living room. The 9.99 option larrygump mentioned is not required, but as the name implies will give you Unlimited HotSpot Calling (the calls will not count against your Anytime minutes).

For the time being, T-Mo is not sophisticated enough to figure out the originating country of an IP address.
