T-Mobile UMA Wifi Calling Demo

[phreake2]

Hello man. I live in Canada. I like wat i hear about tmobile, as opposed to Rogrs. Can I get a tmobile branded 8520/9300 and access uma calling on roger's network?

@phreake2

I thought rogers started offering UMA as well? Try look it up..

You can't just bring a t-mobile phone to another carrier.. 1. the carrier has to support UMA... 2. the settings in the phone is t-mobile uma specific unless you edit it ..

@ash55699 rogers and fido offer uma up here according to the internet. ud hav to go thru alot of crap i guess if u want to take a branded phone (or even an unbranded) onto anoda network. My problem with rogers is that theyre conartists. They dont offer unlimited internet for pc (stray from topic). Also i hear that they hide some things on their 9300. Sigh, guess i hav no choice. Their uma only works in canada and doesnt work on any other network i hear

so, if I lived in a place where there isnt a network, my phone should work??

[ash55699]

@Pfruit09

yes.. as long as there's wifi .. that's why uma works internationally as well

@ash55699 will blackberry 9780 from t-mobile with wifi calling work on a bell network if i got the phone unlocked?

[ash55699]

@trashers4cashers .. negative.. there are a lot of tmobile specific settings in the 9780 unless you flash the phone with bell rom but bell has to support UMA in the first place

[trashers4cashers]

@ash55699 alright thanks!!! saved me the money and hassle if i got it then :-)

[trashers4cashers]

@ash55699 do you know if i got a verizon phone will it work on bell network model 9780 or 9650?

@ash55699

Nokia e73, does it works for wifi calling as well?

[msmahfuz]

Thanks for the reply.

I have a AT&T BB Bold 9700. It is unlocked. I tried to make phone call using wifi. Failed many times. Later on i have found that even tho i have unlocked the phone, as at&t does not have UMA feature, they have hide the option "CONNECTION PREFERENCE : Wifi preferred ".

As of now i managed to bring that hidden option (connection preference), i'm yet to make it successful. I hope i'll be able to make it like T-mobile factory settings for AT&T (unlocked) BB BOLD 9700.

@msmahfuz

GSM bb bold is capable of using UMA even if it's from AT&T but you need to configure the phone with T-Mobile UMA settings.. (Google "unlocked blackberry and UMA" and click on "Use any UMA enabled BlackBerry on T-Mobile | BlackBerryRocks).. however, I don't think the login works anymore ....try giving T-mobile CS a call and see if they can provide you with the settings.. if not, flash your OS with a t-mobile OS..

[msmahfuz]

i have a BBBold, and a NETGEAR (WEP secured) connection. I wanted to make call using my wi-fi. I could not make it. When i scanned the wi-fi, it connects and i can browse data. But it does not switch automatically to UMA. can you help me please.

[ash55699]

@msmahfuz

I'm assuming that's a T-mobile BB? My roommate had similar problem where his bb wouldn't switch to UMA with only a yellow icon right next to the network name under wifi settings. However, the only thing he did was to do was a battery pull. I know it sounds lame but that's how he fixed it. Also make sure it's Wifi preferred under connection preference.
