- Oh I see. Question. If you are wifi calling while your traveling outside the U.S. do the calls go against your minutes? Can you basically call anyone you want without worrying about long distance charges. I travel to Canada a lot and call back to the U.S. as well as local places in Canada.08-31-11 06:01 PMLike 0
- I just got back home from my local TMO store. I went to talk to a friend of mine who works there and thought I would share what I just read.
First I know people like to say no photos no proof but I just looked over a document from TMO and RIM stating that the 9900 at launch will not have UMA and hotspot. However the document did state point blank that UMA and Hotspot will be enable during the next OTA update.
Now if the price would drop down to $200 and I would be in.BBxpress likes this.08-31-11 08:34 PMLike 1 -

- UMA will not be supported on the Bold 990 with T-Mobile. The device will get an OTA sometime in Q4 to enable the hotspot feature and WiFi calling. The Wifi calling feature it will get should be the same that T-Mobile has for the Android devices. It will only work on WiFi and will not feature seamless handoff to the mobile network like UMA.BBxpress likes this.08-31-11 10:54 PMLike 1

- Basically if you're on a call and go beyond WiFi range the call will drop. Previously the WiFi network would "hand off" to the mobile network so you would not drop the call. Not really a big deal, in my opinion.09-01-11 12:09 AMLike 0
