AFAIK sprint pans are domestic roaqming and LD included in airtime... so as long as the phone works and the phone is in the USA and you are calling another USA phone you are covered
similar to your cingular plan

I Have Sprint And When I Travel Sometimes I Might Go Into Roamin But I Don't Get Charged For It. The Only Drawback About Roaming With Sprint Is You Can't Use The Ready Link Or Internet Services. But I Hardly Roam So It's All Good. But You Have To Be Careful If You Roam Alot Because If You Roam Too Much Sprint Will Drop You.

cingular does... I work for them...here is the policy exerpt (found in your welcome kit)
"...Cingular reserves the right to terminate your service if less than 50% of your usage over three consecutive billing cycles is on Cingular-owned systems. Customer must (1) use a Cingular GSM dual-band handset programmed with Cingular Wireless' preferred roaming database; (2) have a mailing address and live in the immediate geographic area in which subscription is made."
As long as more than 50% of your use is on Cingular's network and your address is in the same area as where you established service, you are within the terms of your rate plan and no action is needed.

OK - I have talked to sprint and found out that after July 1 when I am home my phone will use the Altel tower that is nearby because my home is in a low service area for them (for everyone except alltel) - I would like to have sprint because my daughter has it and because their free minutes start after 7 pm (9 pm is almost useless for us). Now in reading this I'm wondering something - since we want to use our phone from home for all our long distance calls will I end up stuck because I'm using the Altell tower - with the deal of canceling service if more than 50% of your calls are roaming??

you are not, if you are acceptable with the sprint coverage without alltel just put your phone to only use sprint's network (it's buried in the settings, probably under roaming, use home network only.) this should work.
