sprint lock on my data?

if i use wmodem for enough time my modem goes to 1xRTT mode and i stop receiving data.. is sprint like trying to cap me or something?

The only thing I Can think of to get out of this might be changing my phone number but i wanted to get some tech's advice here on what I Can do to get out of this lock.. appears sprint might know or have red flagged me as a potential wmodem.exe user and i set off something that puts me in 1xRTT mode after a certain amount of usage...

maybe im paranoid? Is it because my cell phone's area code does not match the local tower's area code?

Re: sprint lock on my data?

If you have a weak signal your data will switch over to 1x in order to maintain a connection. When this happens, data stops for a minute while it reconnects. 1x is also much slower than EVDO, so it may seem like you have no data flowing at all. Sprint wouldn't actually STOP you from using data, they would just charge you for it.

Re: sprint lock on my data?

or, if you get an sms, or a call, or if your phone overheats... maybe even if the tower is overloaded with EV clients.

Just for laughs, what is "enough time"?
