My TP2 from Sprint didn't have "Roaming Only" as an option. Only Sprint and Auto. This reg edit adds the 3rd line and associated functionality.

Hence, when going through a bad area for your carrier, with this hack you can force it to stay on the good carrier until you get into an area better for your own carrier.
Another great use for this mod. I live in a town where sprint has no 3G but Verizon does. I put it on roam and I get on verizon high speed network. Works great. Many thanks to TheBundo for this great mod =D>

Stupid question but how do you know when you are roaming?

Can someone post their HKLM\Software\OEM\InitProv\PhoneSetting as well as HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\NetworkService entries please? Thanks.


EDIT: Never mind, I fixed it. :)
How did you fix it? I'm having a simliar issue.

What would be great is 1. Something for VZW and 2. A setting for signal level to jump networks. So if signal level is 1 bar it looks for roaming.

Be careful when you do "Roaming Only" on Sprint. Sprint might disconnect your service if you do too much roaming. See here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...hlight=roaming

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\InitProv\PhoneSett ing

Change the ItemCount to 3

Add a String Value called "ItemName3" with the string being "Roaming Only"

Add a DWORD called "ItemValue3" with the DWORD Data being "5" (in Decimal)

Do not enter the quotation marks in the directions above. After exiting the program, wait a minute or 2 and then shut the phone off, wait a few seconds for good measure, and turn it on again. Or soft-reset by taking the back cover off (big hassle), or use the soft-reset program floating around.

You can get a free registry editor here:

Doesnt work, My phone just searches for service when i do this reg edit.
