Hi Mikeylee I feel your pain bro. I thought the airrave would be a good solution. Sometimes though I could be the messanging app's fault. Sometimes the app would mess up and I would have to clear the data in the messaging app or worst case reflash the rom again. Before my phone can send text messages again. I believe the APN get messed up sometimes.
Is your roaming set to Sprint Only when you're connected to the AirRave? I made that mistake before....

Mine's almost always set to Sprint only while using the Airrave. What difference does that make?
Texting has nothing to do with data service, unless you're sending an mms...
you should use google voice instead that is what i use since txting sux with the original app. before that my gf stayed pissed thinking i was ignoring her lol i had to send snapshots of my txt log to calm her haha

Some people need to calm down. If you are having texting problems, do a profile update. Try a different messaging app. If that fails, wipe and go back to stock. No reason to get yourself in a tizzy.

Exactly. And as I understand it, the AirRave only compensates for data, not the voice signal, which is what basic texts use to transmit.
You could have your phone glued direcly to the AirRave, which could be connected directly to a T3 trunk line, but if you have no Sprint coverage, you still won't be able to make a phone call or send a basic text. (YouTube streaming would be pretty amazing, though...)

I could be wrong, then - haven't had to look it up because I've been lucky enough not to need one... it's somewhat of a bull**** deal, pay Sprint extra (even if it's next to nothing, one cent is too much) to use your own (paid) internet connection through [insert ISP name here, will NOT be Sprint] to compensate for Sprint's lack of service...

When I had an airrave my only complaint is if you came into the house while on a call th airrave interferred with the signal and made the phone call all choppy and I would have to hang up and call back. Other than that it worked like it was suppose to.

Satellites are orbiting in the upper atmosphere, whereas cell towers are... towers...
And no matter how you try to circumvent it, texts will still filter through Sprint at some point, so you're most likely out of luck on this one. Wifi is probably the only option for data, but standard texts still won't work if they're blocked on your plan

Don't get me wrong, sprints unlimited data is awesome, but when I have to struggle loading simple 4 minute videos online, I get annoyed. Even with full bars the service is garbage. Sprint obviously doesn't "owe" me anything, but some tower upgrades would sure benefit their business.

Sprints philosophy goes like this, "Use your wifi for faster speeds and don't expect **** from our network" They call themselves the now network, but its more like the now or later network.

Richmond, VA has 4G.
Sent from my Cyanogen Epic.
The $10 is for "premium data". When I tried to discuss the reason for it with a rep around the time I got my phone she said it was 'because of the amount of data I would be expected to use.' That I was paying for the 'Ease and likelyhood of uploading photos and videos through the phone network.' And 'because of the availability of 4G speeds in select areas.'
Every phone I've ever had has been a smart phone.
I use no more data on average with my Epic than I did with my last two Windows Mobile phones before it. So, I am paying more to do things I (more or less) could already do.
At home I have an AIRAVE. Though I live ~1mile from the nearest tower I typically have no signal or drop calls like crazy without it. I also use WIFI for my internet when at home. Outside of my neighborhood I have no complaints though.
4G is not available within 3hours drive of me. I have used it for a total of 10min since I got my epic at launch. That was at an airport while on a layover.
I cant complain much about my speed... my girlfriend is stuck at 1x because 3G flat out isnt available to her anywhere in my city. But I do pay $30/month more.

Premium Data (required for this device) - $10.00
We require this add-on for phones made to deliver a superior wireless experience including Web, email, video and social networking.
Additional details:
The Premium Data add-on charge is required for smartphones.
Sprint smartphones currently are: Android, BlackBerry, Palm, Instinct and Windows Mobile phones.
On average, smartphone users use 10 times more data than customers with basic or feature phones. With this charge, Smartphone customers will continue to receive unlimited data and experience Sprint’s simplified services and rates, being able to take advantage of a rich data experience while on the Sprint network.
If you would like an unlimited data plan, for a lower rate, and avoid this charge, you may want to check out some of our feature phones which do not require the $10 Premium Data add-on charge.
Yeah, funny my Palm Pre didn't require that fee and they didn't start the fee until 4G phones came and then only applied to 4G phones until the complaints of no 4G came in...I'm just sayin'.....lol.

Ok so I had an Evo I was excited with the 4G I liked it for a while, but then after a 1 1/2 years the thing started to flake out. Well with my phone flaking out, and very limited 4G coverage I made the switch to Verizon. With one problem, what about unlimited data? I had to have unlimited data. So this is how I got unlimited data! Which wasn't being offered anymore.
Well thanks to XDA I found a super sweet hook up. This guy named VIP Nick got me Unlimited Data on my Verizon account for $30 a month, even though it's not offered anymore! He's one of very few in the country that can hookup accounts with unlimited data. Because he mainly works with Business accounts, and VIP accounts. Though he'll work with individual and family plan accounts too. Which I like because Verizon has a lot better 4G Coverage!
So I thought I'd spread the word to the XDA community if your looking to make the switch and want a new phone and get Unlimited Data email him at

I am Very Happy Now!

File a report with the FCC and demand they allow you out of your contract without an ETF. If the towers in your area no longer belong to T-Mobile (they did say awhile back they were looking into selling towers...IIRC) and you are always roaming and therefore throttled after 100mb than you shouldn't have to pay for more data than that and if they can't provide you the unthrottled speeds after 100mb (that you pay for) they should allow you out of your contract.
(It's what I would do)

If you have a certain rom it will tell you how much you have transfered. Tmobile tried to this with me and while my wife was on the phone with them I took the phone and told the guy he was full of **** and he said that he could tell the areas where I downloaded it from I told him my ROM monitors in and out traffic and it was only at 900MB and I asked him to tell me and he choked and got all mummbly. It is a scam I think because they have this new unlimited plan they want everyone to switch to. Cell companies hate with I call then because I call them out.

Well, you got caught! You were shoplifting from Sprint and they caught you. Either stop stealing or get cut off. It amazes me sometimes that people are surprised when they get caught. 8GB+ a month on 3G, its obvious that you are tethering. Do I tether, hell yes! But if Sprint caught me, I would stop tethering or pay for the service. With their new lifetime data plans they include 5gb of tethering in one of their plans for cheaper than any other provider. They caught you because of the desktop Netflix sever you were connected to opposed to the mobile Netflix server.
It's kind of funny how xda comes down hard on people that post links to warez or movie/music bootleg sites but they turn a blind eye to stealing from Sprint with hacked tethering. Anyway, good luck with Sprint and keeping your account.

Thanks, although I am pretty aware I was caught. I have used mass amounts of data before without tethering. Keeping Sprint won't be a problem as I haven't been tethering. I am not surprised at getting caught, it isn't like I'm crying about the audacity of this company telling me how I can/can't use my unlimited data. I was only asking if anyone knew if a 3rd party app shows the usage as data or tethering still. I will look into this plan you mentioned though.
