Hello! Is it possible to write an app, that switches GPRS totally off when on a roaming network? I've got the following problem. I live in the south of the Netherlands, about 5 km from the German border and 10 km from the Belgium border. In the Netherlands i have a flatfree Internet subscription (GPRS and Wifi hotspots). Therefor i have set up the e-mail accounts on my HTC Wizard to check for new mail every 15 min. Besides that i use TomTom Navigator with a dutch plugin which checks every 15 mins for new mobile radartraps on the road. 8)
Due to me living in the border area between belgium and germany i'm often in those countries. When i don't change my e-mail check and tomtom settings it get's very expensive! Is it possible for a program to detect that i'm on a foreign (roaming) network? (Maybe it's useful that i get a little triangle in the top bar when roaming). And when detected a foreign network, totally switch of GPRS (or switch to non-working settings). Maybe one of the developers here could see in to this (when you've got spare time ofcourse ) :wink:
