UMA Rumor
Any truth to TMO shutting down their UMA service? 😲
I've seen posts thinking since TMO doesn't advertise it anymore there getting ready to stop offering UMA.

T-Mobile isn't offering the Unlimited UMA calling feature anymore. But there's nothing concrete about T-Mobile to stop carrying phones that support UMA. They seem to be a nice touch to Blackberries, and AT&T carries phones with UMA and doesn't have any UMA type service, so I wouldn't be suprised to see Blackberry continue to release UMA phones.

Well I know several TMO customers who rely on UMA for service at their homes.
So I could only imagine if TMO got rid of UMA, they'd be getting rid of some customers as well.

I personally loved UMA on my 8320 and 8900. It worked excellent in my basement where I don't get any service at all. From T-Mobile's standpoint, if someone is using UMA, they are not using T-Mobile's towers, thus saving costs as well.
I think they should still encourage manufacturers to still develop UMA handsets. If the phone is going to have Wi-Fi already, I can't imagine it would be too much more expensive to do UMA too.
Sometimes the handoffs from UMA to the network can be rough though.
