data roaming on sprint

[brklyn]

I have the touch on sprint and i just got my roaming working with the "roam only" registry edits and calling to get my HLR updated.

Phone calls via verizon roaming work (confirmed through not entering an area code and getting verizon message) but when i data roam it dials #777. It shows as 1x speed on the top and the speedtest shows 1x speeds but the ip-address is still a sprint address

Is this how it always works? can someone check with their phone? thanks

i think that 1x is the only service availible for roaming

sorry i probably wasn't very clear

why does my ip still show as a sprint ip and not a verizon one when i am roaming on verizon??

I am not positive but I think that Verizon only proxies your connection to Sprint, who then provides you an IP address.

That's what i was hoping, maybe can anyone with a phone other than the touch try to check their ip while roaming?

thanks
