You can try to aruge with them that the numbers you called were indeed mobile.phone numbers and pretend you weren't ever roaming and try to do this perhaps at a sprint store

It seems as if you should be able to argue this. At a thousand dollars, how often does this happen.

I would say, go back to the dopey prl we're using.

Do be warned about using custom PRL's as Sprint is known to terminate your service for incurring significant roaming charges.

Maybe you can purchase overage relief minutes and get it back dated. Call retentions.

I'm surprised those prl threads are even allowed here as they are basically instructions to steal service/cost sprint tons of charges. And people wonder why the plan prices are going up?

It isn't really stealing it at all, it just forces our devices to roam on to Verizon towers which free roaming is part of our plans. The Plans are rising due to the demand of users increasing year after year and greedy companies who are convinced we NEED them. they require more money for better upgrades in service but sadly sprint seems to lack keeping up with their overhauled network.

Does anyone know anything about this prl? I've been using it for about a month, and get very good data speeds using it. But, I don't know anything about it, and I don't wanna get in any trouble over it. Could someone please enlighten me?

That is a Verizon PRL, and while you won't incurr any additional charges from Sprint for using it, you could end up having your contract terminated.

Yep, your phone is on Verizon full time so according to your device your not roaming, however according to Sprint they see you using a different tower then they brings out the big guns and cancel you like a bad tv show, you might get by for a month or two then you will get the letter of doom.... My advice go to a different prl.....
Sent from my clean sharp shooter
I spoke with retentions today and they told me that you have to be roaming at least 80% of your bill for a couple of months to get a termination letter. I suggest just using it when u need it. If it is in your house get an airave.

There is a force roam mod floating around here somewhere. You'd better be careful playing with stuff though, Sprint is getting pretty gung ho about offing contracts for too much data roaming.

I would laugh if Sprint dropped me for roaming as I have 8 lines on my account plus the airave and have been with Sprint for over 10 years. (Ask the big three how laying off their customers is working out for them)
Try to make sure that you do not pay for the airave and make all the other Sprinters at work at least take you to lunch before you let them use it.

You've got to keep track of your roaming regardless. I've gotten pretty high up on roaming some months just from using a normal PRL. The corporate PRLs, more so. I'm sorry to hear that you had that happen to you though.
Did your mother be like I told you so you little turd head? Lol
They did the Same to me but i also used 5gb of roaming. Now i am trying to sell my EVO3d and shift. I switched to att and love my Samsung note and i get 5 gb per line not to bad i just have to slow down a little.

isn't getting cancel a good thing?
I got a formal letter from Sprint a few months back stating that if my data roaming continued they'd cancel my account.
I was using the 11115 PRL + the Force Roam option I added in Warm TwoPointThree. About 2gb of data roaming a month. (98% of my data was roaming)
I have since stopped force roaming..
data roaming......that is something that seems the trend here.
i assume they ALWAYS warn before canceling right?

Whoa, this whole time I thought they did charge you. I stayed in a cabin in North Carolina once where I had no signal and I disabled my roaming in fear I would get a heavy bill when I got back. Thank you for the heads up.
If you get a voice roam charge call and they will wipe it no questions asked. They blabbed something about its an issue with their billing. Yep sure...

K. I'm not ready for a new carrier just yet.. I use roam control strictly for voice since here at my house I get really crappy service. Roaming allows me to make calls even in my basement. (as opposed to having to have my phone next to a window to get service)
If you are stateside you may qualify for a free airave. Must call Sprint and complain about poor service. Oh and have decent broadband connection.

The transaction is expected to close in mid-2013, subject to a meeting of Sprint shareholders, and the usual FCC and antitrust approval, as well as SoftBank's ability to secure financing. In the event that it can't raise the necessary cash or if Sprint gets a better offer, the Japanese carrier will have to cough up $600 million in termination fees. Likewise, Sprint will have to pay $75 million if its shareholders don't approve the transaction.

You would need to flash a Verizon prl and like its been mentioned, not a good idea. Sprint throttles first, send a polite warning and then terminate if you continue to roam.

Like he said, you'll need to manually install a Verizon prl to do it But in all seriousness, I wouldn't try it... Once upon a time I tried a mod to force Verizon roaming on my old HTC Hero and promptly got a letter from Sprint less than a week later. It's just not a smart thing to do.
