Because of this I have purchased a Samsung Rant and activated it on my line to receive phone calls. No I am unable to receive important emails related to work unless I am either in the office, which is occurring less and less lately, or can find a wifi hotspot. Is anyone aware of any option to place a data session on hold to allow the phone calls to pass through?? I am aware this occurs naturally with EV-DO, but I do not have the benefit of this service. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I do not want to have to carry multiple phones around with me.

i would call sprint because it should just work.

I know for EVDO it works automatically, unfortunately I do not live in an EV-DO area, And I refuse to switch to VZW
