They did, but it wasn't worth it for the short time I would be there. I ended up with $20 in voice charges and $0 in data. I created a profile where Data and Beam were both turned off. I made sure to turn off the Weather update on roaming option. I even turned off all my sms services/notifications.
If you are sure, argue with them. Even if you're wrong, you can show good faith and they'll probably know at least part of it off of the bill.
Good luck.

Thanks. Sprint says I used 52MB in my 7 days in Mexico.
Here is stuff that I normally use in the US that will use up data:
1) Exchange email account - None of my exchange emails came through while in Mexico
2) Yahoo email account - I only had a few emails in my Yahoo account during that period, and of those, 1 showed up on my phone the day before I left Mexico (none of the others made it to the phone).
3) Weather
4) Web Surfing - obviously did not do that in Mexico.
Even if Yahoo and Weather were exchanging data, 52MB is ridiculous.
I also received a bunch of warnings about roaming data while there and I canceled each request (instead of accepting). I did not know what they were for, but I knew that I didn't want to use any data while abroad.
