Will the pre EVER be able to support UMA and use wifi to make and recieve calls even when your out of the country? I would pay liek 50 dollars for an app like this or even 2-5 dollars a month.

Is it Sprints Network that needs to support this? I know t mobile phones can do this that have wifi.

thanks

My understanding is that UMA requires special hardware installed in the phone. Tmo's G1, although wifi equipped, doesn't have it.

UMA (in a BB) worked great while I was with Tmo (for my apartment), but the Airave and Sprint's 3g network is a better solution for me.

Everyone but Tmo is going the femtocell route, one reason being that they support any phone. But if Tmo ever gets the Pre, I would think there is a chance that it will be UMA equipped. I never used it at hotspots, but I can see why it would be a good thing while traveling abroad.

Sprint will never support this in other countries.
