Domestic Data

**sasha** · 08-24-2012, 02:37 PM

Man I've been doing nothing but complaining about my lack of data services on this phone since I got it! Been calling Sprint everyday, resetting prl that, profile this, update that ## this! Why didn't anybody tell me to turn on the domestic data roaming? Decided to turn that on today and VOILA! Now my 3g is still kinda slow but at least it's freaking working! Is there a reason why nobody suggested this?

Its Roaming, for Data.

Yup they won't tell you either , because you have unlimited Data Roaming as well but they still have to pay, Only way you will see an issue is if you are using to much they can void your contract but it would have to be a bunch from what I was told. It's one of the 1st settings I hit on every new Sprint Phone.

All that is saying is if your carrier charge you for roaming you might want to leave that off but since your with sprint no worries its use for when you have no service in your area and sprint piggy back off verizons tower

So the point is that i should check the box and i won't be charged for anything due to unlimited data?, and dies it piggyback 4g also?

Well that's great this is for people whose data is not fine. It allows you to roam and use data on another network. As long as you have unlimited roaming you won't be charged, and yes sprint can terminate your contract if you use to much but that would have to be a whole lot before this would happen. All I know is since I turned it on my mobile connection hasn't disconnected one time and I'm now able to use data in places I was not able to use prior.
