Sure Signal not so sure

UMA....not Thurman

I don't get this SureSignal furore.... We live in a blackspot for all providers. My friend and Neighbour has a Blackberry Pearl with UMA technoloby (Unlicenced Mobile Access). He is on the orange network. He can jump on mine and several other Wireless access points in the village to make phone calls.... I know.. I've used it... No extra box, no 50 quid... and great service. Am I missing something here? Regretably, I have a corporate Blackberry 8900 on Voda. The phone supports UMA, but it will not activate. If you are on Orange, in a blackspot, have WiFi and a handset with UMA, I recommend you try it out. Neil
