Samsung Instinct

I would think a button on the call screen that says "Force Roaming for Duration of Call" would be adequate. My drive to and from work has a 5 mile window where I could or could not have cell reception until the phone goes to roaming. This stretch of road is also the most dangerous for me with frequent car accidents occuring during the winter months.

Sprint, is this possible?

the only reason why spint is starting to take of the roam only feature from phones is becasuse when a subscriber roams or uses another carriers towers for example a sprint customer roaming on verizon network, that sprint has to pay verizon money for them mins that were used i think it was like 3 cent per minute idk but anyways sprint is tryning to avoid by all means owing other people money which they already are in now.also anotherr thing was that word got around that if you roam too much with in a couple months time that you were dropped from your contract and i do think that alot of sprint people were doing just to avoid the $200 etf. and at this current position that sprints in that theycannot afford to lose more customers nor owe money to another carrier.

I've had the same problem and posted it under rumor2_roaming.  Maybe Sprint will listen to us.

You missed the point-I live 40 or 50 miles from the sprint tower-at night i get a sprint signal that is not strong enough to make or recieve call on-During the day my phone stays in roam because it doesn't receive that weak sprint signal-radio waves travel further at night but are not stable-I can cover the top of the phone with my hand and it will switch to a roam signal to make a call-I'll check and see if it will make a 911 call when it happens again-I don't think it will-But without a roam only feature I am without service because the signal is not strong enough to make or receive a call-just strong enough to keep the phone from switching to roam-I am going to have to return this phone and go back to my original LG Rumor which had a "roam only" feature if the software can't be updated to include a roam only feature-Welcome to the wide open spaces of Texas-It's 50 miles to a town of any size.

Just tried 911 no conection=turned my LG Rumor on same Sprint tower with same reception-Old Rumor has "Roam Only" Roumor2 does not-This is not progress-I have to set on my Roumor2 to keep it in roam to get phone calls-Hope I don't get prostate cancer from the EMF of having to set on the phone-Sprint would have to pick up the bill-Such a simple problem to fix-LG Rumor  H/W version 1.2-LG Rumor2 H/W version 1.0-Been a pilot for years="Never fly the "A" model of anything
