Disable Data Roam Guard for GOOD?

jgsx · 01-31-2007, 09:06 AM

I am having trouble disabling my data roam guard. I have it set to allow roaming without prompting me, but that doesn't seem to work. Every time that my device tries to data roam, it still gives me the data roam message, and I have to click Ok first. I click the Never Ask Again box every time, but it doesn't remember.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Yes. In roaming areas I have had the same problem and it is quite annoying. On another note, this is the first time I've been able to data roam.

jgsx · 01-31-2007, 10:18 AM

I've been data roaming with my KRZR for a while.

Is there or is there not an extra fee for data roaming? I've seen both answers on here. Is if free like free voice roam? Just curious for when traveling. Thanks!

im curious too. is it like free voice roam?

Lythium · 01-31-2007, 08:50 PM

I guess I'll be finding out in my next bill since I did use a quite a bit.

Data roaming in the USA is included, at least with my plan (SERO)

It was my understanding that data roaming was free for the new plans that have roaming included. I'm on a legacy plan that doesn't have roaming, so I called and asked CC. I was told that even though my plan doesn't include roaming I would not be charged for data roaming, the implication being that it just wasn't worth it to Sprint to modify their system to track and charge for it given that most users of devices capable on data roaming are on new plans for which there is no charge for it anyway. That said, I'd still wait until my first bill came in before going crazy with data roaming.

I've been data roaming for months with my a900, KRZR, and Novatel card. No extra charge

I have been having the same problem at work. My building has poor Sprint coverage, and I am usually roaming... I just found the registry key:
HKLM\Services\DataRoamGuard\
and changed the value Keep from 1 to 0

I can't test in until I get back to the office on Monday, but I'll let you know how it goes...

Let us know how this works, I am quite sick of the data roam allow question over and over again myself...

Thank you very much, surfsidebeach.

I had to answer the question everytime until i manually went to settings\pcs vision\data roam guard\never ask. Since then all has been good.

I set this setting right away when getting my Q... I am STILL asked randomly if I wanna data roam... I think that might be others case as well?

I am eagerly awaiting Guinness's result from changing the registry (I hate modifying the registry!)...

Didn't work...

Lythium · 03-08-2007, 11:33 AM

I haven't found a way to get it to work either.

To follow up with my reply from 1/31 in regards to data roaming charges:
I haven't been charged anything additional and I have a 1400 F&F for Families plan with PAM.
