first, changing the radio may help, and why not try.. its easy to do, and you can switch back no prob if u dont see improvements..

second, your roaming, dont expect great things..

third, and im suprised nobody caught this... tethering+roaming= bad news..

Roaming-Included Plans: Not available with single-band phones, or to customers residing outside an area covered by the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Sprint may terminate service if (1) more than 800 minutes, (2) a majority of minutes or (3) a majority of data kilobytes in a given month are used while roaming. International calling, including in Canada and Mexico, is not included in roaming-included plans. Roaming usage may be invoiced after 30-60 days. Vision/Power Vision services and certain calling features (Voicemail, Caller ID, Call Waiting, etc.) may not be available in all roaming areas.

technically, but not absolutely, you could see phenomenal charges or have sprint cancel you flat out... i couldnt find it, and this says "majority" but im almost certain ive read it, thats its only 300mb for data roaming.. 300mbs is nothing if your tethering....and if your streaming tv or radio, or torrenting/downloading... you can do that in a very very short amount of time...

i know alot of us go over the 5gb cap and things like that... and a ton of us tether just in general... and see NO charges... but your running into a different area which could make sprint notice, since your usage will be mostly roaming now...

just tryin to look out for a fellow PPCG here...
