    Rogers UMA / Talkspot any new developments?

    Wondering if anyone has any insight they can share as it pertains to Rogers and their uma roadmap?

    been on the newer BB9810 for some time now and still no uma :-( have to continuously swap my sim into my only 8900 to make calls over uma! called rogers no real help - asked about new RIM BB10 devices supporting UMA out of the gate! no idea what i was asking!!!! very fustrated!

    UMA is a pay service now. Maybe you need to start paying to get it to work now. When it was free it worked on my 9870 without issues but then they went pay service with it.

    UMA works almost everywhere now without a problem, however Rogers has indicated that you will be charged roaming rates if you use the service from a non-Canadian IP address.

    This may not actually be the case, but I haven't tested it.

    ^I tested it out in the States a year and a half ago (near end of 2011) Made a phone call to my voicemail, and almost immediately after hanging up, Rogers sent me a text message saying, "You're roaming!" It then told me to add a voice pack. Anyways, when I got my bill a few weeks later, I got charged the roaming + long distance as I would've if I had called on another carrier (such as AT&T). I was NOT happy.

    Update: It was actually early 2012 and the call details are:

    From USA to Voicemail - RCV - $1.45

    Seems that Rogers Wireless has updated their online billing site and there is now an option to see what call types are (lots of info btw)

    RCV = Wi-Fi Roaming Call To Voice Mail

    Paolo, maybe its hit or miss?
