Re: T-Mobile UMA does VoIP +

said by dublus:

I understand the implication of * with MyFavs but I think t-mo would notice all your calls going to the same number.

What does "buying the VOIP package" do ?

I'm guessing it just changes the way the minutes are counted - but that implies the wifi calls going through the router are using t-mobile VOIP.

Would there be a way to use your own router with your own VOIP service ? Couldn't this be accomplished with third party firmware in the router or are the VOIP settings hard-coded into the phone ?
There was an article in last week's NY Times about the new service. I asked a T-Mobile rep about it in one of their stores today.

All calls to domestic US numbers are free and unlimited when initiated under the wi-fi service. If you initiate a call while within a wi-fi hotspot, leave that hotspot and the call continues on a normal cell tower the call continues to be free and unlimited. Conversely, calls initiated with normal cell service continue to use minutes even if you roam into a hotspot.

Further, even calls initiated outside the USA in a wi-fi hotspot are free when made to USA numbers. So you can be in Tokyo and call someone in New York and talk for free.

The $10/month charge is only available for July - it goes up to $20/month thereafter.

The special I mentioned above of $39.99/month for 1,000 anytime minutes and unlimited nights/weekends is not available in stores anymore. The salesperson said it expired on June 30. I still see it on their website.
