Alas, apparently there is no longer a comparable data plan so watch out! You probably should turn off anything that routinely uses data (like the weather update). As long as you are using a stock ROM, your data will work. If you are using a custom ROM, maybe the data won't work.
Alright thank you, I thought so but just wanted to be extra sure! I was going to call Sprint today to tell them the countries I am going to, it was funny though, when I called to get a SIM card for my phone (didn't get one with it) the person I spoke to kept telling me that I should buy a cheap prepaid SIM there so that it wouldn't cost me as much (I thought they were supposed to try to make Sprint money). Yep I tried calling about that data plan but it was gone, so when I call today I will ask them to put a block on my Data so that I'm not accidentally charged when I'm gone. I am on a Custom ROM though. Thanks so much for your response!

Which brings me to another question does anyone have a suggestion of the best custom ROM to use well I'm there, something reliable with good battery life? I currently have MightyROM running on it, but I've been getting the SOD a lot, and the keyboard has stopped responding a few times then I have to reset my phone. It's never happened on another ROM before.
