So, if you have an AT&T phone then it can use the WiFi for all its data traffic, but it will continue to use the At&T network for calls. A T-Mobile UMA enabled phone will use the WiFi for its data traffic AND the @Home service for its calls and not the general voice T-Mobile network. Clear? :-) Ok, so two questions here implied - Any phone will work on the WiFi network for data, but only T-Mobile phones will work for calls using UMA.

It can be any wi-fi on the market that is UMA enabled? So it doesn’t have to be a t-mobile hot spot phone? It can be any wi-fi on the market that is UMA enabled?

Just remember though that the WiFi is only for Data services, not actual calls. To use the @Home service for calls you will need a UMA enabled phone.

I have a base phone unit downstairs and a remote unit upstairs for two phones in total. Good luck if you give it a try and thanks for reading the blog.

Then you can use all the internally run phone lines in your house (and not have to buy a whole bunch of new phones--we have five in our house). I can't see anything wrong with this idea--can you?
