If you have a plan that allows roaming, then I think you could try putting Network Service in Roaming Only mode.
Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> CDMA Services -> Select Network Services -> Get Settings... -> Roaming Only
I could be wrong though. I don't want you getting charged a bajillion dollars just so your phone lasts a couple hours longer. What do you real pros think?
Also, if you do decide to go this way, then here is a thread where they talk about switching between modes:
