Anybody use a wi-fi/GSM phone? (UMA/GSM)? -

[I thought I posted this yesterday, but can't find it.]
T-Mobile began selling UMA/GSM service. It let's you make unlimited calls within the U.S. when connected via wi-fi.
Reason it is pertinent here is that many claim, including tech reviewers, that when overseas and using the phone via wi-fi, it is billed as though you are in the U.S. This means all incoming and calls to U.S. would be "free".
No one has posted first hand that this is really how billing will work. I have used this service and handoffs between wifi and GSM are seamless. It is clearly stated that there are no handoffs if you are in a roaming area.
I believe this type of service has been in Europe for several months. Can any one comment about it and how it works for them when traveling?

Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20ยข/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.
My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
