Re: T-Mobile is dumping their UMA said by wdoa: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. no offense, but how does UMA help in rural areas off of highways?
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.
