Do you enjoy using free mobile to mobile? Has it saved you alot of minutes? Guess what the catch is, if you make a call to another mobile phone while roaming you will use up your anytime minutes.

"... Mobile-to-Mobile applies to calls placed between Sprint & Nextel phones (not available while roaming). "

"Everything Data - with Any Mobile, AnytimeSM
Any Mobile, Anytime: Applies when directly dialing/receiving standard voice calls between domestic wireless numbers as determined when the call is placed using independent third-party and Sprint databases. Available with select Sprint plans and while on the Nationwide Sprint or Nextel National Networks (excludes voicemail, 411 and other indirect methods)."

Just a heads up in case some of you aren't aware of this. Be careful with roaming, I would hate to see anyone rack up a huge bill.

I don't really care about using minutes anymore. I use my device for work, email, and tethering to my home pc in case of emergencies at work, I can remote in. I rarely use the phone to talk on (less than 100 minutes a month.) I am awaiting a roam only fix, and I will get the phone again, but as of now, I did send it back. I will keep tabs on this thread, and a few others for this issue. I wish I had known what was needed, I would have gotten those dumps for you guys before I sent it back.

So I thought I'd chime in on the whole forced roaming. I've been dinking around with a hero for the past two months working on a easy to use method to force roam because I live in an area where I'm flip flopping between Sprint and no service. Well I not only managed to force roam, but I can select between Alltel or VZW respectively.

The downside, I'm a capitalist, and am looking to profit from the misfortune of the hero and other handsets not having the ability to force roam. So...I need to link up with someone who's savvy with making apps to put this thing into motion. Any takers?
