So I got a letter from Sprint in the mail today saying that i used to much roaming but on my plan I have unlimited roaming so i called in and talked to a rep and she told me that when i roam it costs sprint money because i roam on other carriers towers ( which I really don't care about cuz if you tell me I have unlimited roaming I expect to have just that )and that there is really nothing I can do about it and that their gonna cancel my plan in a month if I don't stop roaming. And now since I live a an area with crappy sprint service I can barely use my phone. Has this hapened to anyone else or am I just the only one

Wow that is bs, its not your fault that they don't have signal in your area, I talked to them before moving telling them I wasn't going to have signal and was wondering if there was something they could do and they just said "there are no outages in your area" and I just got pissed cuz they obviously weren't listening to me and closed the convo. I really hope I don't get one of those cuz otherwise imma smack a hoe

Unfortunately, your problem is not as uncommon as you would think. "Unlimited Roaming" basically means nothing except that you won't be charged for being off network. If Sprint feels that you're roaming too much, rather then charge you for roaming, they cancel your contract.....which is also in your terms of service. Have you tried asking them to send you an Air Rave to use while you're at home? That might help to get you off of roaming. Also, be sure to keep your PRL and radios up to date, and stay off of the Verizon PRL's which force you to roam virtually all of the time.

@OP - What this guy says.
In area where i live, i have good 3g signal and 2bars of 4g, but not inside my house, only if ill step outside and its often rain in here and gettin cold so what i do is i open my window (my room is on 3rd floor) and put my phone on it, that way i get good 3g signal no roaming(which used to happen to me once a day) and sometimes it goes all the way to 4g...

You get a [previously 30 day] 14 day return policy for these devices.
If you weren't getting any reception and the coverage maps on the website show that you don't get good reception... why are you going with this carrier?
It's like setting yourself up just to have something to ***** about.
Roaming is also defined in your contract.
I see no where which stipulates it's "unlimited"
https://manage.sprintpcs.com/output/en_US/manage/MyPhoneandPlan/ChangePlans/popLegalTermsPrivacy.htm
They are actually quite clear about the rules:
Off-network Roaming: The primary use of your Device must be for domestic purposes within the Sprint-owned network. Domestic means use in the 50 United States and U.S. Territories (except Guam). Sprint reserves the right, without notice, to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if off-network usage in a month exceeds: (1) voice: 800 min. or a majority of minutes; or (2) data: 300 megabytes or a majority of kilobytes. The display on your device may not always be on and will not indicate whether you will incur roaming charges. You can monitor usage online through My Account. Roaming is not available with single-band phones, or to customers who reside or whose primary use is outside an area covered by the Nationwide Sprint Network. Sprint may limit or terminate service if you move outside of the Sprint owned-network.
Helps to read contracts and make informed choices before signing them.

This.
If you exceeded either 1 or 2, then you have no right to complain. I read my entire contract before I signed it. Just because you might not have, it doesn't exclude you from what you are legally bound to. Luckily Sprint is just canceling your service. Most other carriers would just charge you.

Actually, finally a post that is to the point and it is very relevant to this thread! It doesn't sound like the OP is knowingly using roam control or a Verizon PRL. In that case, here we have a person who went to a Sprint store and they set up a phone and service for this customer. When you do that, the customer has a reasonable expectation of actually getting the service they signed up for! Sprint has your address when you sign up. They know where you live. So IMO, the onus is on Sprint for looking at the customer's address, finding that on a coverage map, and advising that they cannot properly serve this customer.
So yeah, one solution would certainly be for Sprint to develop their network so it isn't full of holes! The other is for them to just keep doing what they are doing: selling service to people they can't serve and then terminating them by sending a letter as if the customer is doing something wrong by roaming!

Actually, I even listened to the press conference. It has everything to do with this thread though. Even if people are deliberately roaming, that usually only happens when their service is very poor. I get horrible data speeds in the area that I work, even outside, despite Sprint's coverage map showing I should have good 3G coverage.
Hopefully they will fix things, but I'm just not very confident they will.
Sorry but this has happened to me too. I moved to Nebraska from Alabama, which I had great Sprint service there. But once I moved to Nebraska the service was not bad it just didn't even have 3g in my small town. I had and OG EVO, and the funny thing is I actually bought the phone in the same small Nebraska town at the Wal Mart, with no 3g and especially not 4g. Being the Android Pro that I think I am I figured out the PRL to use to use Verizon's Data network which IS 3g in the area. After about 4 months I got my letter in the mail and they told me I had a month to find a new carrier and that my service was being Terminated. I was pissed! But I understood because I basically the I was roaming the majority of the time on another carriers network so why not just go them was what they basically told me. So long story short, I got out of my contract which I had just started and went over to Verizon using a friends phone so I wouldn't have to sign a contract. Moved to Virginia a few months later where the Sprint coverage is waaaay better. And got the EVO 3d. Well I guess we now know how to get out of a contract with Sprint!
Hope my story helped somebody~!

No, the real issue is...if a carrier doesn't have good coverage in YOUR area [or the area you're in most of the time] then you need to find a new carrier instead of abusing the system [and other CDMA networks] and then coming on forums and whining about that carrier for cutting you off.
Period.

How could you be pissed. Sprint should be pissed because they lost money because you hacked your phone to only use Verizon towers which cost them money. How long was it after you bought your phone to when you moved? Did you know that you were moving before you bought your phone?
You, as a consumer, has a responsibility to make sure that the service you are buying works for you the way it should. There is no way for sprint to know exactly how good the coverage is for every house. There are places where you get four bars and then walk 50 feet and get 0-1 bar. When you purchased the phone and realized that you were roaming, you should then have returned it or contacted customer service for a solution. But by ignoring the problem and blaming Sprint, you lose all credibility.

Believe it or not, that's exactly what the 14 [formerly 30] day return policy is for.
Yes, it's about making sure your phone is what you want but it's more importantly for making sure the service is worth it for you.
As someone else said, Sprint [and all other carriers] cannot tell you how the service is going to act specifically for you.
They don't know where you go, they don't know the setup of your house, any large structures in the area, different terrain, etc etc etc.
Two weeks is plenty of time to determine this, and there's NO ETF in those first two weeks.
I was going to purchase a Galaxy S3 from ATT and use it on the go phone plan. The rep at the store told me if I purchased the phone and it didn't work with my go phone sim I would be unable to return the phone. I asked if all I had to do was enter in the correct APN it would work. He said he'd seen other people try and not be able to get it to work. Is this guy full of crap? I understand I wouldn't be getting LTE but figured I would be able to get 3g. I was going to enter in the APN settings that I used on my unlocked tmobile galaxy s2 on the go phone plan.
Yah the guy is full of crap. It would be work but won't be using the phone to its full potential. Have you tried StraightTalk or Tmobile Monthly4G perhaps? I'm currently on Tmo's monthly 4G $30 plan and absolutely love it. I cant imagin myself being tied down to another 2yr contract ever again. I avg around 12-18mbps down with Tmobile btw.

Thanks for the information. T mobile has poor coverage where I am located. I currently have a go phone plan but have thought about using straight talk since it uses att towers and has unlimited data if you don't abuse it.
I see. StraightTalk's data speeds are actually pretty fast. But i've heard that even though it says its unlimited, they do cap you at only 2GBs.

I heard they don't so much cap you as they actually kick you off. I use less than 1 GB a month so it won't be so much of a problem.
I would look into Straight Talk for your needs. I suggest reading this thread for some good user feedback on ST(data cap, coverage, call quality, etc) on ATT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681307
Just wondering if you do, what prl you may be using or radio. I just got mine yesterday and put it on Verizon and I love the phone. I lose 3G at my house sometimes but for some reason Verizon has always been that spotty for me so there may be no cure....Sprint isn't the best either at my house. The best believe it or not is AT&T. Everywhere else though usually Verizon has the best service around my town. I live in Virginia. Input would be greatly appreciated.

Hello I have a sprint htc evo 4g that i want to put on the verizon prepaid. I have the CDMA worshop. I just would really appreciate maybe a guide of how to do this?? If you know anyone you could point me in the right direction that would be great. I have done this before with this phone but we are outta the metro pcs home area and i have a vanity number for my business so i have to keep this number. I have flashed this phone once but i couldnt get the mms and internet to work. If would help me that would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Hey guys,
Quick thought and a question:
1. I have the LTE rocking on Page Plus, also a Verizon service. For those considering the Verizon network over Sprint's, consider Page Plus over Verizon PP for two reasons:
A. Avoid illegality of ESN cloning
B. Being kicked off the network for data abuse, cause they know those tiny, dumbphones aren't capable of such data usage
2. For those rocking these LTEs on VZW networks, even with the right MMS settings, can you guys confirm that when you get an MMS, you have to MANUALLY hit the download button to download the images? Instead of the phone automatically engaging the data to download the image, and then shutting the data off, much like all the native Verizon phones like the Rezound, for example?
Thanks for your help!

VZW prepay on a 4g?
I keep hearing how some ppl have their Verizon 4g phone on the Verizon prepaid service and I need to know how I get that to happen for me. I have a droid bionic with a 4g sim but I use the VZW prepay bc I don't use my cell but about 1/2 the month (dead area for cell phone coverage in the sticks where I live) so I don't want contract pricing. I've been using one of the Verizon prepay phones but they just aren't up to par for me and I love the droids. Somebody please tell me how I get this to work?!?! I've tried transferring my service myself online to the 4g sim but of course that doesn't work and you can't even get a Verizon rep to even discuss it. Is it a matter of getting a different kind of sim for the phone, i.e. a 3g sim if they even exist in the VZW world. Is there such a thing as a prepaid sim versus a contract sim? I'm lost!
Howdy folks, I just want to make sure I understand the results of flashing a PRL. As I understand it, if I was to flash another carrier's PRL (let's say Verizon), it would make my phone connect to Verizon towers, show as not roaming on my phone, yet as far as Sprint is concerned I'd be constantly roaming. Also (as I understand it), this would result in Sprint dropping me within a few months which would not result in an ETF due to the fact that it would be them dropping me and not vice versa. What I'd like somebody to confirm for me WON'T happen is that flashing a Verizon PRL will suddenly make Sprint's network show that I dropped their service (and therefore incur an ETF) and somehow make Verizon start chasing me for money.
Yes, I'm considering this as a way to separate myself from Sprint without an ETF. I've recently run into a significant financial hardship and need to cut costs anywhere I can so I'm going to try to get sprint to drop me and go to the main prepaid service in my area. Thanks in advance for any help.

Correct, except you are not exactly flashing "Verizon's" PRL. You are flashing a Sprint PRL that is modified to connect to Verizon's towers first, thus making your phone constantly roam.

They would drop if you if constantly use it, especially data. And there is always a chance they still could charge you an ETF, however usually they will just give you the boot.

You will NOT be charged by Verizon. Your ESN is tied to sprint, so they are the only ones that could charge you.

While that is one way to do it, I would personally discourage it. Not only are you screwing Sprint over, you are also contributing to rising costs for the rest of us, as Sprint has to pick up your tab for all the roaming you did. If you really are in a tough situation, call sprint and tell them that. There are a few options they have to help you out in this situation, and depending on how much of your contract is up, they may let you out ETF free, ESPECIALLY if you agree to use one of Sprint's prepaid services.
Okay so, i moved recently and i get really spotty 3g and 4g services.
All is okay if i put my phone inside the window but when i move it it's like data drops when i try to use it.
I've considered changing the prl for my device, but i read about the termination fees. Is there anyone out here that uses the prl change with no problem? (or even roam only). i use 4g the most, but when i'm out ill use 3g for facebook checking or the occasional youtube.
Let me know
LSorry but anybody who changes their prl to another carrier's and roams off of it passed 300 mb a month is in jeopardy of service cancel. You would have to continuesly roam for them to threaten you. If your not a heavy data user then its no problem. You could always call sprint and ***** to them about how ****ty their service is out there and want to get a airwave tower(which is small mini cell tower) and tell them your thinking of switching to Verizon if they don't offer it.

Okay so, i moved recently and i get really spotty 3g and 4g services.
All is okay if i put my phone inside the window but when i move it it's like data drops when i try to use it.
I've considered changing the prl for my device, but i read about the termination fees. Is there anyone out here that uses the prl change with no problem? (or even roam only). i use 4g the most, but when i'm out ill use 3g for facebook checking or the occasional youtube.
Let me know

I've personally been running the 12124 prl for a few months now. Its a sprint corporate prl so even if I am roaming I can get 3g service. There are others like 00002 that are Verizon prls and those will definitely get you kicked off sprint. If I were you I would suggest trying one of the other prls. 12119 up to 12124 are the most recent corporate ones that I've seen.
But even if sprint drops your service. For excessive roaming... I do not believe there is a termination fee I think they just tell you to hit the road.

This is correct. Good way to get out of your contract early.
