That won't work right now because as I understand it that requires a broadband connection which I don't have at the moment (although it may be an option in a few weeks if I can find an inexpensive isp). I tried to make some calls today and they didn't go through even with forced roaming (but tethering works fine on forced roaming although it is slow). I know I am close (within 5 miles) of a tower and sometimes my phone gets a few bars of signal without roaming but my calls just won't connect. Also I tried calling my voicemail today and kept getting a busy signal. I guess I'll call Sprint tomorrow and see what they can do. I would really hate to have to end my contract with Sprint because it is the cheapest service around here (not to mention Alltel wanted a $1000 deposit from me when Sprint only wanted $100). By the way looking at the Sprint coverage map there is coverage completely surrounding the small town I live in but roaming only in town which sucks.
