The settings are

Under HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting
Change AllowRoaming to 0 (not sure if this is needed or not)

Under HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\NetworkService
Change ItemCount to 3 (instead of 2)
Create a new String called ItemName3 with the value of "Roam Only" (without quotes)
Create a new DWord called ItemValue3 with a value of 3

and

do the reg entries in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\InitProv\PhoneSett ing

change ItemCount to 3

New string: ItemName3 Value- Roaming.

New Dword: ItemValue3 Value- 3

At the risk of sounding like a retard...

Those instructions are beautiful and clear, but I don't know how to get into those folders, or update those files on my phone.

Does my phone need to be connected to my PC?
Can I update these settings directly from the phone itself?
Can someone walk me through this from the Today screen?
Could someone please write a .CAB for me?

Thanks,
Zak

I downloaded "MobileRegestryEditor" (searched registry editor on google) and did the exact steps mentioned above and it works! rebooted my touch and still there! hanging out like a hair on a biscuit ROAMING ONLY! where i live, and my old FREE ROAMING plan this is a must.

many thanks to the directions as this is the first time i've attempted registry EDITING on a mobile device and the process was made very easy, with COMMON SENSE! *once you see it you'll understand what I mean*

I recommend at least taking a look at your registry with one of these programs and maybe click around a min or two.

btw, this was done on a sprint touch.

much love!
