I mightys latest rom and i see those settings under network. Which setting is what i need to use?

These would have no use for sprint. Back in the day before all the roaming agreements, I would sell a customer a number in say wichita, and a number in Chicago two different cities they frequented. By paying for two different services they would actually save money instead of paying the roaming charges. Today I'm not sure that this of any use, maybee to have a US number and simm card in NAM1, and another number and SIMM for europe?

Edit: This was back in the analog and TDMA days...

Canada / USA or Business Hours / Home Hours are what I can think of.

I have my canadian line on NAM1 and my US line on NAM2. When I drive across the border, i call forward my US line to NAM2 and I can talk for 5-10 cents per minute instead of 1.50

First thing is you need to find a us pay as you go provider that allows foreign esn's on their system. I am using Page Plus Cellular. You need to contact them and have them add your ESN and assign you a phone number. Then read the following post for more detailed instructions. It was trial and error for me, but finally got it working perfectly.
