International calling through T-Mobile UMAN
We'll the reason that International calling is not free (i.e is not included in the unlimited plan) is the same reason that other VOIP services that require VOIP to PSTN switches are not free. Remember that T-Mobile needed to implement UMA Network Controllers (UNC's) to basically terminate the VOIP calls to their BTS network (wonder if down the road we will see deals with calls terminating to DT's network in Europe). Again if this was a true VOIP service then VOIP to VOIP would be free since everything happens in IP but with the Generic Access Network architecture this is not practical ...
Check out something like this:

So with this what you can do is subscribe for a VOIP service to handle your International calling needs, have a regular PSTN for fax if you even need PSTN lines, since it has WiFi you can use your T-Mobile UMAN phone for local long distance. Since it has Bluetooth (Cordless Telephony Profile CTP) you can connect to it using a CTP cordless phone. It also has ohter extras such as print server capability etc.
