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.
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
I don't own an NS but I am hearing reports that some folks are getting a roaming indicator on when they use the 850/1900 Nexus S on Fido. Don't know if it matters whether the NS was bought from Fido or from another carrier. In this situation, it is necessary to (dangerous!) enable data roaming to get any data at all.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any bright devs got ideas on how to fix it?
Bump. Any ideas?

Bought from BestBuy today, (Fido version) and Roaming indicator is on.
I flashed CM7-RC4, MIUI 1.4.8...same issue. Then I decided to flash Radio from original I9020AUCKB2 to suggested version (I9020XXKB3)
Issue is still there + now my carrier shows-up as Rogers Wireless, not Fido
Will try different things and report back

For the specific case of CM7 + Fido, you might consider turning on the "National data roaming" option. It should shut off the roaming indicator for all carriers with the same country code as your SIM. Since all CDN networks you can access with a Fido SIM are covered without roaming charges (except Dryden, Ontario and Northwest Territories), this is a less risky option than keeping all data roaming on.
Of course you would not want to enable such an option on a Wind or Mobilicity SIM with the i9020T, because then you could rake in huge charges.
Using new Stable Release (CM-7) and using National Roaming takes care of this, The right carrier name shows-up (Fido) and the r icon is no longer present.
Thanks!
I noticed that a funny work around is to turn on airplane mode, then turn off airplane mode.
The roaming "R" symbol disappears and the correct carrier name appears. APN settings should appear automatically, but if they do not Fido's APN settings are the following.
APN: internet.fido.ca
USER: fido
PASS: fido
You will have to do the airplane mode on-off trick each time you restart the phone to get rid of the roaming R symbol.
I'm using Fido with a Nexus S for Koodo.
the people at fido technical is aware of the issue and is being bombarded with service tickets. the roaming issue only takes place because rogers essentially merged the hardware with fido without much thought so they're technically 2 separate entities still piggybacking each other when necessary. but if youre continually in roaming after a reboot i did find an easy bypass that you can do during a boot.

phone information>scroll down
turn radio off then on again> scroll up
run ping test
within 3 seconds it should pick up your 3g properly, if it doesnt work you can toggle the network type
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?
