About LinkBacksShould it be on or off?
I have heard mixed thoughts about it.
- Some people say if you are roaming and use data with "Data Roaming" ON, you wont get charged? Is this true? If data is 1.99 a mb without a plan, I can imagine what it would be if you were roaming.
- If this is true, you only get charged for minutes when roaming not data?

03-07-2010 07:01 PMWhen I was on a cruiseship I put the phone into airplane mode because I'd be roaming the entire time I was on the ship...for data. In the USA I am never roaming so I don't worry about it. You could leave it off as a safety precaution though.

If you apply a rom or theme - backup first!
If you don't know how to backup...Stop until you do.
hint: I name my backups like this: sg6.0_20100428 or ss4.2_20100626 to easily find them later. rom and date.

03-07-2010 10:30 PMIt's true on my plan, so I would expect it to be true on yours - as long as you stay in the US. I am always Roaming when I am at home because Verizon's coverage doesn't quite make it to my house. However, my area is well covered by US Cellular's 1x network, and the phone automatically switches. When I leave and get a little ways towards town the phone switches to native Verizon 3G.

You should be able to verify that on your plan (which I would expect to be the same as mine) by calling Verizon.
Now if you leave the US, roaming charges will apply.

03-08-2010 11:11 AMPretty sure that $30 includes nation-wide data... no roaming charges. I was driving from Colorado through Wyoming to Nebraska and also realized my data roaming was unchecked so I checked it to allow the roaming which I shouldn't be charged for. If I am... Verizon will hear about it. To pay $30 per month for data and ALSO get charges for data roaming is highway robbery IMO and I doubt Verizon would do such a thing.

03-08-2010 11:34 AMThere is no roaming for data charges in the US. Canada is 2.05 per MB and mexico is like 5.12 per MB.
Resistance is futile.
