TeliaSonera, the dominant telephone company and mobile network operator in Sweden and Finland, recently unveiled their version of Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) under the name "Home Free". Home Free allows callers to use a mobile phone at home as an IP phone by using wireless technology to make very low-cost calls. The same phone also works outside the home as a normal mobile phone that automatically seeks out a mobile network. Currently, South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung is the only manufacturer that sells UMA phones with their SGH-P200. For Danish families, the launch of this mobile-IP hybrid is good news since they "will now be able to cancel their fixed line subscriptions at home without losing their home phone numbers, and at the same time save more than 20 percent on their phone bill, " the head of TeliaSonera in Denmark, Jesper Brøckner, said in a statement.
Danish users will need to acquire a special telephone to be able to use the UMA technology, which will be operational in November 2006.
