    And this router can be cracked to install Tomato or DD-WRT firmware. With MLPPP, you can unthrottle.

    Honestly, I don't see why anyone would want that Add-on............To me it just doesn't make sense.........Yeah if there was a way of making calls outside ur home using Wi-fi, then maybe it would be something to consider....but then i guess there is always something for everyone..........Thanks for the info indeed..............

    I don't think you're just limited to YOUR home but rather WiFi. So if you go somewhere else with WiFi, you can use UMA. Someone correct me if I'm wrong... but how would Rogers be able to tell what WiFi you're connect to since you're not on their network anymore?

    And I would definitely get it instead of a land line if I found I was getting a lot of home calls.

    Okay so let me get this straight, it basically will let u recieve and make calls in your home..........without using up any minutes on your cellphone......What I can't understand is, that unless u want to give up your LAN line, than it may be great, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.............having both....unless u have a big family, and even then have them call u directly to your cellphone rather than calling your LAN line.............so to me UMA is very limited unless u can use wifi anywhere outside your home and not incur extra minutes.............now that can make sense............

    Okay having a cellular plan + $10 for talkspot....+LAN line............
    why pay more if u got unlimited evenings and weekends...., at the same time u got a LAN line...............
    If u don't have unlimited evenings and weekends, than add $5 for 6pm

    the only way it makes sense is if u don't have unlimited evenings/weekends and a LAN line...........than $10 is not too bad......and with R2R, unlimited incoming, I don't see the reason to have that added on.........unless like I said earlier..........only if u can use UMA anywhere especially on the daytime using wifi...................and at the same time u are going over ur minutes......only then it may be worth dishing out an extra $10............

    if there is more to it, please do advise....................Thanks

    And how does Rogers know my IP address? And if they do know it, how do they know it if it changes?

    I worded my previous posts incorrectly. I should have said the a Rogers 8520 is needed to.use Talkspot. And Talkspot only works with Rogers devices that support UMA.....

    Nope. you can install the rogers UMA certificate into any UMA device and it will work.

    so if you buy the tiger direct BlackBerry 8520, Rogers TalkSpot will work after you install the certificate

    How does one install the certificate? I got the impression it wasn't easy.

    all you gotta do is unlock the engineering menu from the HELP ME screen and a couple of screens later you'll see an option to install rogers UMA

    takes 5 mins tops

    It gets better, T-Mobile is launching [News via Engadget ] a no contract, no strings 8520 for $300 US with one month service included.

    Buy the kit, keep and unlock the phone and ebay the SIM with the one month service included.
