I'm not even sure if you were able to understand anything from the title, but here goes:
I have a home phone that allows me unlimited North America. Do you think there's a way where I can create/get an application that through data would connect me to my home phone and let me do calling from that phone? So I am only charged data and not voice?
Is that even doable? This way I can roam anywhere in Canada and use the phone, or better yet, have this service if I go to the US and use it through wifi.
UMA is calling over a wifi network. it doesnt even use cell towers.
That's what I thought too, but when I asked the rep she said you cannot use it outside your calling area becaue even though it uses wifi it has to route back to a tower, not sure if she's saying the truth or not, but assuming I did this, that means I cannot use the phone anywhere else but where the city I'm in.
