... hack it?

It is true that the issues discussed on this thread aren't a Pre issue specifically but more of a Sprint issue. However, Sprint changed it's policies with the Pre/Pixi in mind and thus mainly effect Pre owners. Sprint does not have the same policy for other Smartphones such as the Treo.

Good luck!...

Roaming is charged only on plans that do not include a free roaming option. Primarily that is the older plans where it wasn't included but needed to be attached separately for an additional charge. The new plans (Including the plans the Pre/Pixi work with) include free roaming, but you are limited in the amount you can use (50% of your overall minutes, or 800 on a Simply Everything plan). If you go over that amount there are no charges....

I've already switched my corporate phones from Sprint partly because of their policy changes. When a company makes a bad product I am 'ENTITLED" to voice my opinions whether you like it or not. I do not have to just suck up and like whatever is dished out. I...
