Sprint and Roaming?
I am a huge fan of sprint and have been with them for a very long time. Now they are doing away with the forced roam or roam only function on all their phones I am being forced to look for solutions. I have a Sanyo Katana DLX and love the phone. I can force it to roam on my camping and fishing trips every weekend and still get service.

Is your current phone set to automatic? If not this needs to be selected to receive a roaming signal.

Yes, we have 4 sprint phones and all of them are a few years old so they can all be put on roaming only. When they are on automatin they never go onto roam. Once in a while they will but the sprint signal is not usable or callable. It thinks it is a usable home signal but it is not and the only way to call, text or get voice mail is when the signal is weak like that to force into roam. I never had to do it really often but it is enough to make us have to switch services when our phones break. I am just hoping to find a way to stick with sprint.

Unfortunately the Pre is the only way you would be able to get the roaming only option. I don't forsee any of our new phones coming with the ability to force roaming due to costs associated with the roaming.

Well... I could see the Droid getting that option (Same reason as Pre: community wish on a customizable phone).
As a programming student, I know I would consider building a program that can do that and sell it for a couple dollars per. Might not get rich, but it'd definitely sell.
