T-Mobile has a series of phones that will switch back
and forth between using the t-mobile cellular radio
network and... where available... will send their
signal across an 802.11 ("WIFI") internet connection.

This lets you, for example, use your phone in a cellular
dead zone such as your basement. (Provided, of course,
you've got WIFI there).

I've been looking around and haven't found any simlar
offers from other vendors. VZ has a "femtocell", which
is a mini cell base that uses their cellular frequencies
(and hooks up to an internet conection), but that's
not at all the same.

Anyone bump into another company with UMA? Thanks
