quick ques for those of you on Rogers usning the 8900 on UMA without a subscription
do you find that every now and then you go to make a call and it simply fails, or you call your cell phoen to hear 1.5 rings and then Vm when you're camping on UMA?
i have this issue @ home and @ work
the Work router is a Rogers talkspot router, so that's "approved"
the router @ home is a WRT54GS
i'm running the stock ROgers OS which i dno't remember right nwo
try calling rogers on it... thats all i have to say about that... i use UMA all the time at home without a rogers talkspot router and its all good for me...
If you're downloading a lot eg torrents, you may have issues. I was having calls with lots of static and the person on the other end complained that the call seemed to cut out a lot.
I've had issues with calls dropping when battery is getting low, which is understandable.
More annyoing though is the intermittent issue I've had with calls failing and incoming calls going straight to voicemail. Seems like the connection to Rogers breaks but it thinks it's still active. The odd part is I get email, text, and even the voicemail notifications just fine over UMA when the calls won't work. Usually have to turn off WiFi for a few minutes then reconnect.
Still on the whole, I've had good experiences with it.
