Roam only trick?
I found this @ XDA....

1. In the phone dialpad press: *#*#4636#*#*
2. Press Phone Information
3. In the upper right hand corner, press the (ICS) Menu icon
4. Choose "Select radio band"
5. Switch it to Cellular (800-Mhz Band)
6. I immediately start roaming, test calls completed

Why do you want to roam only?

Re: Roam only trick?
I use a $2.99 app called Roam Control that I got from the old Google market place. i don't see it there anymore however.

Allows on click to Automatic, Roam Only or Home Only.

yeah I had bought that at one point too....it appears the app now has to be purchased from his website.....I guess he's not using the market anymore. oh and it's $3.99 now...

handy app if your're not rooted....but if you're rooting, it's free w/ a hacked phone.apk
