    I’ve just read up some about this and I cant find anything saying iPhone supports this. It must just be a bug on the t-mobile GAN where you’re roaming.

    Can you find any UMA settings when you are on UMA? is this consistent any time your wifi is on? Do you have it jailbroken? Where can we get some diagnostics info about the UMA?

    Another question, do you by chance have a Femtocell from O2? The thing you plug into your router to emit a signal?

    Pat i know your with me on this but i need to get it off my chest anyway. My sister lives in England and is looking at buying an iPhone and as i already have the new one she rang me for some advice. I went onto the 02 website and looked at the Tariffs …. i am so angry …. why oh why do we continue to be ripped off in this small Island of ours …..

    Look for yourself

    Looks to me like O2 has one of their network identification settings set incorrectly. UMA/GAN has never been claimed for iPhone. Are you sure this is not a 3G failover to an EDGE situation in reality?

    In fact, looking further at the positioning of the “UMA” lettering, it is at the position where my iPhone identifies my carrier (in my case I see ROGERS in this position).

    guys UMA is not a software i work in the nokia Nseries department and i know that no matter how much you try to build a software to have a UMA on the phone you just cant do it its like you having a EURO 3g phone and trying to use it in the AT&T 3G it just doesnt work it doesnt have that radio, do you get the point UMA is not a software it is a special hardware like we have in our 6301 there are 3 version of 6301 and only one support UMA why coz it has that radio on it, so there is no way of getting a UMA on iphone unless Apple it self builds that radio and start putting on their next generation Iphone.
