Tethering while roaming, disables Tethering completely

been tethering flawlessly (very little data usage very casually). Yesterday i tried to connec to verizon while roaming on my 6700. I get error code 1010 data server is not available when device is in tetherered and bluetooth dial up networking mode.

I was like well i guess i cant tether on verizon no biggie. well............ now i get the same message when im on sprint. So i dont suggest trying to thether on verizon because it appears following that you wont be able to tether anymore.

if anyone has an advice id appreciate it

its just you. I tether every single day no problems. I do get those error 1010 but that doesn't effect my performance. ppc6700 users can tether without the phone as a modem plan because the modem doesn't use NAI such as other phones including treo 700wx/p. Phones such as the A900 can turn off NAI and continue to tether away.

yes i know you CAN, but once you attempt to do it while data roaming on verizon it gets blocked by verizon. Now when i go back to sprint i get the same error and it will NOT work anymore. I restored an image from a week ago and it works again.

So in conclusion unless someone else wants to try to confirm this, attempting to roam on verizon does something that permanantly disables teathering
