WOW, for those of you with bad service in your home, a possible solution!!

I thought roaming refers to when you travel aboard, that's when roaming costs a lot. I'm from the UK so not sure how it works in the US. Best bet would be to confirm with your network operator and the tariff/plan you have.

Don't want any nasty surprises each month as most network operators charge a lot for data.

On the Droid X, when you go to System Select, the choice is either Home Only or Automatic, that's all. So perhaps, it's doing what it needs to, and making roaming available when there is a weak signal. Anyone know?

Anyone else try this yet?

I can't believe the change in my own home....toggles between 1x and 1 bar 3G normally and now I have 4 solid bars......

Can anyone else confirm that nor charges will be accrued as long as we're in the U.S.

Yup. Verizon.

I confirm - I worked for VZW for going on 3 years and answered this question daily. No charges in the U.S. including Hawaii and Alaska.

It's back one screen, under Settings, Wireless & Networks, Mobile Network.
