Bell Vogue running Sprint Rom and Bell radio

Sorry I'm a newbie at this stuff so bear with me,
I'm a Bell Vogue user with Bell's unlimited data plan, but using the Sprint Rom (OMJ's 6.1) when I go online it connects to a #777 Sprint PCS. I'm scared that Sprint will somehow bill me? is this true or does it just say Sprint, but i'm actually using Bell's network. And if so, is there a way i can rename it? I tried renaming it but it uses a login and password which I'm not sure if i need to get that from Bell.

Thanks

as long as the bell data calls out as #777, you wont have any issues. the worst that can happen is your call is denied and you cant connect to the net until you set it to dial the right number

Thanks! I was really worried that I would get billed improperly or something along the lines of that

the only reason it says sprint is because its meant for sprint users anyway. it would be like taking your friends cell number, but instead of naming it justine (lets pretend), you decided to name her twiggy in your phone book. youre still calling the same person, just under a different name

As Aleki said, as long as it calls the right number, you're okay. If you don't like that it says Sprint PCS, you can change the name of the connection. Just go to Start => Settings => Connections tab => Connections. Then select "Manage my existing connections" under CDMA Network. You should see the Sprint PCS entry. Choose edit and change the name.
