UMA-enabled BlackBerry Pearl

Rogers Wireless and Research In Motion have introduced the new BlackBerry Pearl 8120 smartphone to customers in Canada. The new smartphone supports Rogers Home Calling Zone, a UMA-based service from Rogers that enables customers to make unlimited voice calls over a wireless Internet connection. Rogers is the first carrier in Canada to offer UMA services with its new Rogers Home Calling Zone.

The new service leverages the dual-mode Wi-Fi and cellular capabilities of the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 smartphone for both cellular and home calling. Rogers Home Calling Zone works by connecting calls through a voice optimized wireless router over a high-speed Internet connection when at home and can seamlessly switch to the cellular network when out of range–offering seamless mobility and the ultimate in convenience. Customers can use the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 smartphone inside and outside the home, making it easier to stay connected how and when they want, while effectively managing their phone costs.
