Right. You have to do some hacking to get it to work. Also, some operators, like Rogers in Canada, doesn't sallow UMA abroad (they block it by IP address).

I've seen a Rogers UMA phone work in the US, but that is only one country out of 200 something and for practical reasons I could see why Rogers may not work real hard on blocking US IP address. UMA would be real attractice to Canadian Snow Birds.
