I have looked into Sprint, but their no roaming claim has been a little off. I know people who have Sprint and do get roaming charges now and then. On their map they seem to have very little of their own coverage and many areas where they have roaming agreements. The areas in which Sprint has roaming agreements are areas that you will be charged in, correct?
Yes. If you keep your phone set to "Sprint Pcs only" mode you will never encounter roaming charges. If your phone is set to "automatic" and displays the word "roam" then you will be charged for roaming.
Larry is right, its a great idea to keep your phone on Sprint PCS, then you do not encounter roaming charges. My entire family has 4 sprint pcs phones we have yet to encounter a minute of roaming. However one annoying thing is the fact that some samsung phones have that one touch wireless web button, and sometimes my mother who isnt very english literate just keeps hitting buttons and gets onto the wireless web and my parents get charged for it. Is there anything I can do about this?
Your phone may have an option called web guard which will display a message asking if you want to log on to the web. My phone has it at least, although I am not too sure about your model. Mark
Web Guard is a good idea the phone that I tried out (SamSung N200) had a web guard feature on it. By default it was turned on also.
yes all sprint phones with web should have the web guard feature. look at your manual to find out how to do it. if you lost your manual you can download a manual to your phone at www.sprintpcs.com after you log in.
