check this out if you are using roam only. A small program to toggle between roam and automatic.
works so far.

Thanks!
So your getting data on EVDO? Mine still shows 1x data? This is a very nice program tho, much easier to switch over

Is it the phones rom thats limiting the data while roaming? Can someone tell me how and what they are using to load different prls, i used to do it on my a900m (it wouldnt allow data while roaming at all). Where is the file located? I searched for .prl but came up empty.

I just use the Update PRL icon in Settings. Much easier than the old way

But that just updates to the newest prl thats available. I want to modify a prl and then reload it.

carefull guys... you can only use 300mbs of data or800 voice minutes, while roaming or Sprint can/will end your contract..

1. this is a common technique to get Sprint to end your contract without ETF's..

2. we just had a poster in the last 2 weeks say Sprint sent him a termination letter... the first one ive ever heard reported... the reason, To Much Roaming Data..

just be careful guys.... get cancelled, next thing you know your frced to a carrier who limits data and has higher prices

Off-network Roaming: The primary use of your Device must be for domestic purposes within the Sprint-owned network. Domestic means use in the 50 United States and U.S. Territories (except Guam). Sprint reserves the right, without notice, to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if off-network usage in a month exceeds: (1) voice: 800 min. or a majority of minutes; or (2) data: 300 megabytes or a majority of kilobytes. The display on your device may not always be on and will not indicate whether you will incur roaming charges. You can monitor usage online through My Account. Roaming is not available with single-band phones, or to customers who reside or whose primary use is outside an area covered by the Nationwide Sprint Network. Sprint may limit or terminate service if you move outside of the Sprint owned-network.

ive got sprint and i go to a city with no sprint service at all at least 25 days a month. i roam and get evdo all the time and i use at least 10gb a month. this have been going on for over a year :knock on wood).

ive noticed that i can get evdo while roaming if my phone roams automatically. i can roam and get evdo if i force roam either using reg edits, apps, etc. hope that helps
