| T-Mobile is dumping their UMA T-Mobile is now phasing out UMA. It's not offered any longer with any of their new plans. I suspect going forward newer phone models from T-Mobile will not be equipped with UMA. I've used it for a couple years and it's great. Helps fill the many, many, many holes in T-Mobiles network (like anywhere that is more than a mile from a major highway). It also works great in buildings that have wifi but are also not cell reception friendly. Big thumbs down to T-Mobile for pulling the plug on UMA. |

At least where I travel between Missouri, Colorado, and Texas, I find it very difficult to find open wifi for UMA calls in rural areas. Not that it's really necessary. It's 100x easier to simply roam.

Why did you think they were phasing it out?
