Thanks guys.
called tech support and asked for a HLR reload. The guy insisted on updating me to PRL 60611 which didn't work. Proceeded to reprogram my phone which also didn't work. He then did the HLR reload which did the trick. I can now roam for both voice and data. Strange why i was able to roam with 2.17 until i upgraded to the new rom.
