Sprint wifi??

have any of you used yours? if so are there ridiculous charges?? Ive already spoken with sprint and they said no just to hook up through wifi only but, can never trust them 100%. lol :confused: <---- me

There is no charge by Sprint for using wifi in Negril, but you MUST be sure to turn off your mobile data services that connects to Sprint (or the roaming service here). The wifi mode works just like a laptop connected to a wfi service.

Thanks Rob. Ill have to ask Sprint how to do that! lol...

having Sprint I never had the guts to turn on just wifi in Jamaica..........
because of the costly mistake of using the data services out of the country..........

but depending on the kind of phone........you go to settings and then connections......
or just connections.......and hit wifi......
on mi Sprint phone if I hit Internet Explorer it automatically starts the data services/power vision line which is a no no out of the country especially in Jamaica.....
but what do I know.......mi not the most savy techie on here........lol
but you have to be careful........mi have heard of people getting bills for over a $1,000 when they mess up using the internet in a foreign country using Sprint......
so it could make that reach your most expensive vacation ever using a Sprint phone in Jamaica........
best thing to do if you need to get on the internet......is bring your laptop/netbook or use one there.....

Cool Runnings, Marko

Thanks Marko. Nope dont want that!! lol.. dont have the money to spend on a 1000 bill. lol. Well, not sure if im going to take my notebook. But Ill find out from the Sprint store how to disable all other network setting on my particular phone.

I don't have sprint--I have ATT and an iPhone. I have read on other posts that if I but in on airplane mode, I can use the wifi w/out charge. I am going to call ATT just to make sure--don't want a billing disaster.
