UMA Service Overview 2. Inside the Home Zone, the UMA phone set up a WIFI connection with the Home Zone Box. It switches into UMA mode (icon appears on the phone). 1. Outside the Home Zone, the end user makes phone calls through the GSM network. 3. In the Home Zone, the end user benefits from voice abundance. All incoming / outgoing calls are routed through the Home Zone Box. The hand set is treated like a mobile phone; it gains access to all its Orange mobile services (SMS, MMS, Orange World Portal, Mail) 4. Hand Over service is available if the end user leaves its AP coverage during a phone call. (the call is not released)
