However with EVDO your phone uses 1x for voice and EVDO for data. So there are actually two channels opened up that you phone is currently using.

I had the same issue since I am pretty much in a roam only area where I live. The best thing I can suggest for you is not to use data on the phone while roaming.

Another thing that you can try is look at your phone settings and make sure the your DDTM setting is set to "off" This will allow all voice calls to take priority over data. Data will take priority if it is "on"
thanked you. you nailed it on the head. Thanks a lot.
