Does anyone know if the Sprint Touchpro 2 gets 3G level data when roaming outside US

Sprint said that I could pay $40 per month for unlimited international data roaming on any CDMA or GSM network. I probably won't do much if any voice calling while international, but will do lots of data, and so $40 for a month of unlimited data didn't seem that bad... is there a cheaper alternative for unlimited data?

it depends where you go, and for how long. most probably if your not looking for voice call it is worth it, it is also prorated so it is surely worth it. please be advised both receiving calls and making them are at the same cray high rate.

my advise is add the international data, and get a cheap unlocked phone and a local sim card to make calls.

Question here, why buy an unlocked phone if the TP2 works with overseas SIM??

Should be getting couple TP2's tomorrow finally and my goal will be to do both Voice and Data with a local provider,

Anyone cooking this combo yet, let me know how it is working out for ya please.Thanks fellas and ladies.

20 bucks gets unlimited 3G data usage where I am at.

when you get to your destination they will have better and cheaper options for you. I'm also not sure if the sprint sim card will pick up the hsdpa networks overseas. But the cheapest route will be to pick up a sim card and sign up for data over there.
