I don't know. I heard a little about it last month but nothing else. I really interested in seeing if readylink will work. :music: :music:

[mf4c]

i think there is a thread in the readylink forum about the alltel data roaming, but i dont recall if somebody said when we would be able to

i thought i heard it went into effect July 1st. I also thougth i heard you had to change a setting on your hendset (unless sprint can do that over the air).

Here's Sprint's Press Release (http://www2.sprint.com/mr/news_dtl.do?id=12401). I could be reading it wrong though, but it sounds like we'll get charged of $0.002/kb. Is this even if you have an unlimited Vison/PowerVision package, or only if you don't?

There are no extra charges for data roaming in the US. - sheureka

right, thats what I mean. even if we have ulimited in the states, we will still have to pay extra when we are in those countries? i wonder if our handsets will warn of this ahead of time or if we just find out on the bill.

[sheureka]

You pay for telephone roaming in Canada and Mexico - and you'll also pay for data roaming. Unless you have the special business plan or the $99 all you can eat data plan, if your phone says "R" and you're in Canada or Mexico, you're going to be paying extra for both phone calls and data roaming. - sheureka

its it working in the Bronx,Ny?

[Jonathanlc2005]

i dont think its working in the northeast but midwest yes. because verizon is more east and alltell is more west. i tried it earlier today and it told me something about vision username and password

I have a 920 and it just says service not availale while roaming, is there a setting to change that?

Doesn't seem anyone can get Alltel data roaming working yet on approved devices with the latest firmware. What gives?

Was the July 1 date a corporate agreement date and not a release date?
