I got the unlimted data plan.
I checked my bill and it says under data unlimited...
Then under that it says additional data used and its in red 32kb?
Do we get charged for using data (roaming data) that is not on the sprint network?
How do we change our roaming settings?
No but don't go crazy

There's no charge for voice/data roaming with Sprint. However, if you seem to roam more than you 're on Sprint's network, they'll most likely make you switch carrier since it costs them more for you to roam than not. IIRC I read somewhere about this happening to someone.

Hello all I have a HTC/Fuze (Raphael) with AT&T and can access the web just fine. I however did not get a data plan on the the phone..just an unlimited text to talk family plan. This is an offered plan in case you do not want a data plan. My question is how can you tell if you are using your wifi to access the internet and not the att network. I don't want to be charged for using the internet (since i have no data plan)...I went to the att store yesterday and they told me I can still get charged for using their network to access the net even though I have no data plan... can anyone help me with this question?
Thanks.

you need to use the HTC data connection application. you should be able to totally disallow any internet connection.
I am using an Orbit 2 on O2 UK, when wifi is connected it will only use it until disconnected or out of range, then reverts back to 3G.
You will know when it reverts back because the speed of the internet will slow significantly.
I completely disable/delete the medianet and AT&T ISP profiles so that it doesn't ever connect over 3G.
I have the same setup as you (but with a Tilt, no data plan). Download Modaco No Data cab, install and disable the ISP (the first option). This will turn off data usage but still allow you to send and recieve text and MMS.
When you get the data roaming warning there is an option to tell the phone not to ask you again. It's not clear on what happens after that. If I deny data roaming and tell the phone not to ask again, will it always deny data roaming or will it just not warn me the next time I am about to data roam?

It will always deny it but it can be changed in the settings> wireless connections> mobile network

Do I even need to be concerned about data roaming? Does it cost money or does the data plan take care of it?

My Sprint plan calls for Unlimited roaming data. So far I haven't been charged for any.
I shut the notifications (Roaming guard) off.
i make it roam when out of town i really dont care since it says unlimited if they wanna cancel me its ok
Sprint called to say Im using too much roaming data and is threatening to terminate my account. Even though my account and bill and everything says unlimited roaming data, they say Im only allowed 300MB per month...
Problem is, at work I get zero Sprint signal because of admitted problems with their network, so its either roam or nothing at all.
Is there a widget that will let me monitor my roaming data usage every billing period?
I would like to give my MyTouch 4g to my mom who is also on Tmobile. However, her plan doesn't include data. Is it possible to use the phone with her plan without racking up data charges? I'd essentially like to disable data over Tmobile and only use it over wifi. Can that be done? If so, how?
System settings/Wireless and network settings/ mobile networks/ uncheck data enabled.
This is for CM7 not sure about stock as I have never used it.

Turn off mobile data in quick settings in the notification bar
Sent from my T-Mobile MyTouch 4g
I tried turning off mobile networks in the quick settings and it mostly worked. However, a few minutes after I turned it off, the 4G sign came on and I was able to browse the internet. This only lasted for a minute or two and then I wasn't able to connect again. Any ideas what was going on?
I'll hand off the phone for now and run the experiment myself. I'll report if I notice data usage again.
If her plan doesn't have data, it wouldn't connect to data when she puts her sim in. My son has a Samsung Vibrant and doesn't have data on his line under our family plan and he's been that way for the past 3 years. So I wouldn't worry.

Yea I used a HTC magic without a data plan for a while. Carriers that say you must have a data plan with a smart phone are stupid. Don't listen to them.

You don't need it the data SOC for use the phone that only carrier advice to gain more money so relax even if the H, 3G, E appear that mean the device(phone) is trying to connect but wolr no go thru bc the required service does not exist on your TMO acount

So i only use sprint data roaming when i go to my hunting land, but i was tethering and used 3 gigs in one day watching football games on my computer and sprint cut off my data roaming until my next billing cycle starts. I know I have heard of those hacked PRLs that dont show the roaming icon when they are loaded, is there anyway to use one of those, or anything else so that sprint doesnt think I am roaming when i actually am roaming? Its another week before I can use roaming data again. Never had this problem before, so I am assuming sprint changed their data roaming limit.
Sprint always had a 300mb roaming data limit. They don't track everyone but if you get caught going over on multiple occasions your account can be terminated.
Its 100mb now I chatted with them lastnight
Or is there a way to hide tethering data usage? Maybe thru a VPN or something?
