Off-network Roaming on Sprint Phones: Not available with single-band phones, or to customers residing outside an area covered by the Nationwide Sprint Network. Sprint may terminate service if (1) more than 800 minutes, (2) a majority of minutes or (3) a majority of data kilobytes in a given month are used while roaming. International calling, including in Canada and Mexico, is not included in plans with no roaming charges. Roaming usage may be invoiced after 30-60 days. Data services and certain calling features (Voicemail, Caller ID, Call Waiting, etc.) may not be available in all roaming areas.


Data Usage Limitation (Mobile Broadband Cards, USB Modems, Embedded Modems and Phone-As-Modem): The amount of data transmitted over our network is measured in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB). Sprint reserves the right to limit throughput speeds or amount of data transferred; and to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if usage either exceeds (a.) 5GB/month in total, unless specified otherwise or (b.) 300MB/month while off-network roaming. 1024KB equal 1MB. 1024MB equal 1GB.

I'm trying to do this on Ivan's rom, but I dont see it in the settings. What gives?

Ok, sorry for the obvious question but does the phone not roam on other networks if Roaming is set to Automatic? If I see "Sprint Only" or "Automatic" then the implication is that Automatic means enable roaming.

Is this not the case? If not then what is the difference between Sprint Only, Automatic and enabling this tweak?

Thanks.

Automatic means that it'll use Sprint's network when available, roaming when it isn't. "Sprint Only" means Sprint's network only, no roaming, and the "Automatic-B" forces it to roam on (I believe) the strongest network available. I'm not sure whether this means "never use Sprint's network".

Won't roaming only also kill your battery even faster than normal?

Nah man ,this will make your TP just use other carrier signal like Verizon , instead of trying to capture your carrier weak signal, so it does the opposite,it saves u battery and gives u good signal,win win
