Blackberry touts this service as FREE to and from anywhere in the world.

However, TMobile USA Cust Care says that if used while roaming, there will be roaming data charges, which can add up pretty quickly. Anyone have personal experience with this for the facts? I think that possibly the TMO rep was guessing.

Similar situation with the BB/Wifi calling feature. Not clear that if the phone is WIFI connected to a Hotspot while roaming, if calls made back to the USA will be billed as if originated in the USA... Again, the Rep might have just been winging it, or trying to discourage use of the UMA feature this way!
