I have the sero plan (not sure if others charge roaming) but Ive never been charged a penny for roaming. What sucks is to get sprint service, I have to walk down the driveway to the street and I get 3 bars of sprint service but in my house I get maybe 1 bar of sprint service where I get 3-5 bars of roaming). If I leave my phone on automatic, it will consistently change between the 2 all day/night and kill the battery and lag the phone while Im playing uno =/

People have mentioned that if you burn 1/2 your alotted minutes roaming then sprint will just kick you but Ive burned 1200 minutes a month before (night minutes) on pure roaming while only using 60 anytime minutes on sprint. If sprint were to ever say anything to me about it, Id invite them over to my house and have them call me up and say "Can you hear me now" to prove that their service sucks on my road/driveway/house

It can take a while to trigger and it does seem that they are hesitant to kick people right now. I have received a warning letter for a member of my family plan that moved to martin, sd. So it is your call on running full roaming. How good roaming works also depends on the roaming provider you are connected to... you may not get the RevA speeds this phone provides instead being limited to rev0 or worse 1xrtt.
