Hi,

Does anyone know if the data service will work on a Nextel phone that is taken across the border to Canada? Does the phone need to be provisioned ahead of time to allow international data roaming?
I tried calling Sprint, but the phone tree eventually dumped me to "The number you are calling is not a valid Sprint phone number." Seems like they aren't too interested in letting me upgrade my rate plan...

TIA,

I know the data service does NOT work across border. You might need the "data roaming" service, if they provide.

Thanks for the verification. I'm working with Nextel to see what needs to be done to get it working. I'll post again when I have an answer. I suspect the phone just needs to be set to allow it, indicating that the phone has "opt'ed in" to international data roaming so that it can be billed.
