Re: Femtos are dumb, Wi-Fi works Why isn't T-Mobile mentioned here? We use UMA - calls over wi-fi for $9.99 a month for all phones on a family plan, 24x7 on T-Mobile without eating into are monthly allotment of minutes. UMA is a good thing! |

| With T-Mobile' setup you are limited to whatever phones they decide to offer that will let you use wi-fi to connect. With my Airave I can use any of the phones that I currently own with no problems. |

"There's no technical reason why the iPhone, or any other WiFi phone, couldn't support UMA though. Aside from a few progressive carriers like T-Mobile, most big carriers are holding it back. If you think about it, it's a pretty dumb move on their part..." |

I'm having trouble understanding why you have to pay T-mobile to use the internet connection that you already pay for to place calls. How is this costing them any money? |
