T-Mobile To Start Testing UMA On Android

The Boy Genius Report has a brief post up saying that T-Mobile will start testing Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) on Android phones in the fall. UMA is a technology that enables cell phones to switch between GSM and Wi-Fi without dropping calls. What is interesting about BGR’s news is that T-Mobile no longer sells the Hotspot @Home service that utilized UMA access, presumably because not enough people bought the service. When T-Mobile sold Hotspot @Home it charged $10 to $15 per month for unlimited calling.
