T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9900 to Get UMA Wi-Fi Calling in November


T-Mobile U.S.A. plans to roll out Wi-Fi calling support for its BlackBerry Bold 9900 smartphone in November. Many current T-Mobile BlackBerry users were frustrated that Wi-Fi calling wasn’t included at launch in August, but they shouldn’t have to wait much longer for the Internet calling functionality.

From T-Mobile PR representative Kevin Wren:

  • A maintenance release from RIM is expected for the T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9900 in November 2011. That update will include Wi-Fi Calling functionality
  • With the update, the Bold 9900 will have Wi-Fi Calling performance and benefits similar to T-Mobile’s other Wi-Fi Calling-enabled BlackBerry devices.
