Ok here we go. I was trying to help my friend figure out the roaming issue. We noticed this in the QPST program there is a CDMA setting called AOC or Access Overload setting. My value was 5 and on my wife's it is 3. We do not have the roaming icon. On the roaming problem phone it is 0. So I updated my roaming(*228 ) and it reset it to 0. After that I then I had the Roaming icon on. So I restored my phone to my original setting and I do not have this roaming issue. Could it be this?
