I got the "Roaming Only" thing working
 
I tested it, and works great. Use a registry editor, and go to:

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:

I'm confused... Why is this useful? Why would you want to roam?

When it is in automatic, while you are in a weak area on your system, in and out of service, it will keep jumping back to your own carriers weak signal whenever possible, even though the roaming carrier has excellent signal all the way through. 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.

All Sprint plans include roaming...and I am pretty sure it is the same for all other carriers...if you go to sprint or any other carriers website...you can see that the plans include roaming (including sprints new plan)

I would check this...I "believe" the new Mobile everything plans, charge for Roaming minutes...I have a call into my rep for this, but if true, may not be a good deal for me (I travel a lot)...When I hear back, I will let you know...unless someone else knows for sure?

There's the answer to roaming charges for Sprints new plan...it says No Roaming and I also chatted with the online help and they stated that Roaming is free...you can double check for yourself to be 100% certain...

wrong as well... here:this is Sprints offical page on the new plan , notice it says NO Roaming http://anymobileanytime.sprint.com/?...P_Freedom_Plan its says "Excludes calls made to international numbers or while Roaming" right on it...

hope that helps... roaming, will use your regular minutes(the 450) for the anymobile anytime..
