I am now living in South Carolina and until the Suncom deal goes through im roaming on either Suncom or AT&T. I have a data plan and it is working on the partner networks, but I have to manually hit send/recieve every time. I then will get a warning say i might be charged since I am roaming (I won't).

I am wondering if anyone knows if I can either somehow change this setting or trick the phone to think it isn't roaming. I want to find a way so that the phone goes back to just send/recieving on normal intervals.

If anyone can offer any advice I would greatly appreciate it. I have already talked to Tmobile and they say it can't be done. I doubt that seriously I just am not familiar with the phone enough to know how to do this on my own.

Thanks in advance

Ahhh, another poor soul like myself who is trapped using SunCom.......well, in my experiences.....I have never had this happen to me before...I too live in SC(Florence to be exact), and im using the S621 flashed with the Brightpoint rom(which I suggest you do.....SOOOOO much better than the SunCom rom...), and ive never had a problem with the roaming and downloading like I did on the SunCom one.....so I would try that first!

yeah no dice on that, but on the bright side I can't get activesync to work anymore. I am on tmobile not suncom but I roam on either AT&T or Suncom. If I was native suncom I believe I wouldn't have this issue, anything else I should try next?

i had to get rid of the setting that let it use advanced networking over the USB protocol to fix it....i also have got the rest working so thanks for the input man. I appreciate the help plus this got me to update my firmware which is so much better now.
