T-Mobile Begins UMA Trials
Aug 14, 2006, 12:52 PM by (staff)
Selected T-Mobile customers in Oregon and Washington have begun a large scale beta test of UMA technology. The carrier asked for beta testers on a number of message boards last month and began trials last week. Testers receive a T-mobile Wi-Fi access point and a compatible dual mode Wi-Fi/GSM phone. After connecting the base station to their broadband internet connections, they can then make unlimited calls when in range of the home hot spot for a low monthly fee. Rumors are that the price during the trial is $5 per month. T-Mobile is expected to launch this service nationwide this fall. Initial adopters may be offered a choice of handsets in addition to the already revealed Samsung T709. The Nokia 6136, LG CL400 and many smartphones support UMA.
