Lol. It's not my fault you don't know how to configure your phone to roam properly. every provider has dead spots, it's just a fact. sprint's roaming agreements with verizon mean any where there is a verizon signal, a sprint phone can use that signal. same goes for us cellular, alltel, and a handful of other smaller companies. as for wifi phones sprint has something better coming out in just a few weeks, that works similiar to wifi but is compatible with every sprint phone ever made.
Why should I need to configure my phone myself? If I set it to enable roaming, shouldn't it just work? Is it like a Microsoft product, where I just have to reboot every time I don't have a signal?
Please enlighten me to this sprint wifi thingy? Does it involve buying an antenna/ booster that plugs into a router?
You have a good point about using aim and emails to text, but Europeans have to enable the email addresses for their accounts to prevent spamming I guess. It isn't automatically set up, and is too much for us to expect grandparents to be able to figure that stuff out. They don't know if they send a text that it isn't received by us.
Using AIM would require it to be running the entire time and involves data transfer. I do not think international phones come equipped with aim and yahoo.
I'm just looking for american providers to be able to text to international ones. I'm not looking to educate 15 foreigners about alternates to texting. I just want shit to work.
