They wouldn't sell me a phone until I gave them a service address.
As I understand it, if they can't determine a location from the
regular cell tower triangulation, they use that address.
Personally, I don't care all that much. I lived for thirty years
before the 911 system was available.
GPS co-ordinates, your personal address, triangulation of cell towers to
pin point your locaton.
None of that satisfies e911, like the e911 that we are required to do
provide to become a voip carrier and provide voip service.
I say, if they can do this, there is a double standard and we're

call to 911 will always try to use a tower if one is avaiable (even if
you are connected to wifi), if not it will use the wifi network and
privide the address that you registered with t-mobile

I did a few tests at the East Lansing Starbucks. I start the call on
WiFi and walk out the front door. By the time I'm 20' away it has
switched over to a tower. I didn't detect any noise during the
switch, but I was outside next to a 3 lane road.
Unfortunately that doesn't work at my
I'd like to know how it is that they can provide e911 for their voip
offering?
Last I heard, a voip call was required to have e911. Like to know how
they are going to pull their roaming wifi voip off without saying, it's
cell phone service even though it's wifi voip.
Very serious issue
The GPS locator in the handset probably.

What does that mean.
They relay GPS location to the fire department/cops?
I can see a double standard here. Anyone else?

That was how the cell guys were going to originally offer 911.
I don't think cell has to have E-911 (enhanced).

No, but voip does.
When it's not talking to a cell tower and is talking to a wifi ap, it's
voip.
Why is it that their offering of voip does not have to live up to the
latest e911 voip rules, but my home rolled * system does?
Can I offer roaming voip using cordless handsets and wifi access
I don't know how the FCC will handle that issue.
Maybe someone should ask them for a decision.

Means they can either use the cell towers to triangulate the position of
the handset, which works better as more towers become visible. Or they have
an actual GPS receiver in the handset that may or may not be usable by the
handset owner with or without a 'GPS feature' enabling subscription.
T-Mobile launched their [EMAIL PROTECTED] service at the end of June.
I picked up one of these cell phones a few weeks ago. The deal is for
an extra $10/month, you get unlimited calls in the US if they are
made over wifi. The wifi connection generally works with any open AP,

Nice write up John. I have Sprint network with Samsung
phone unfortunately locked in for 2 years. However,
the T-Mobile offering looks appealing. So you had
session persistance? Nice. Can you re-clarify that you
did not have to re-authenticate at all? For example
let's say you walk out of
and other parts of the world and used by two U.S.
wireless providers.
