It appears you are asking about cell phone calling but I may have misunderstood your question.

You can use your Consumer Cellular service when traveling outside the U.S. by enabling international roaming. The countries where our service can be used are listed here.
Consumer Cellular utilizes multiple network providers. The network provider your specific cellular service uses determines international roaming availability. To confirm your international roaming options, contact Customer Support at (888) 345-5509. We recommend doing so at least two weeks before leaving the U.S.
On some networks with Consumer Cellular, usage incurred from the countries listed will be billed at international roaming rates of $0.30 per talk minute, $0.10 per text message, and $0.25 per MB of data usage. On other networks with Consumer Cellular, those costs can be much higher, or international roaming may not be available. Be aware that when using your phone internationally, charges can add up, so it is always best to use on a more limited basis. For your protection, service will be disabled once we have received billing records showing $50 in international roaming charges has been incurred on your account during a billing period (this includes calls, text messages, and web data). Due to delays in receiving billing records, your charges will likely have exceeded $50 when international access is disabled.

Data roaming is simply cellular internet data but using out of your country. For ex. when you go on holidays to Spain you can use cellular internet from roaming. Roaming is for calls and sms too. And important thing is that roaming is much more expensive then normal in your country

Hi Dennis, your internet access has different settings to calls & texts so that is why you can have the others without Internet access! The settings for Internet on your phone has to come from your service provider..........Mobile network settings - set options for data roaming, network mode & operators, access point names (APNs) and so on! Contact your service provider and get the settings for your phone sent to it from them.....have they done this?

Hey Bruce,

Unfortunately most phone providers do not have internet support for roaming areas, contact your phone provider to inquire if they support roaming internet access or not to resolve this issue.

There is no way around this unfortunately, if your phone provider does not have the support for this, then you will not be able to access internet while roaming.

Please let me know if this helps,

Thanks,

I think you can be glad for that. I think your phone is setup for that or your provider does not like you to access the internet while roaming, because this could cost ten times or more than normal

If you need to stop Roaming phone signal,You should keep in mind the following instructions
1.Turn your voicemail off
2.Just switch Data Roaming off with a help of your service provider.
3.Try to access network through Wi-Fi while visiting abroad.
4.You can also avoid roaming by use the local carrier sim card,which is available in that country.Before put local carrier,Make sure your phone is unlocked or not.If it's restricted by some network,try to unlock your phone using

Do you have your cell carrier reception? If not and you still want to use cellular internet, you need to enable Data Roaming.
To do this:
1. Tap Settings application.
2. Select Cellular.
3. Toggle Cellular Data on.
4. Toggle Data Roaming on.
5. Data Roaming is now on.

Please note that data roaming might be really expensive!

This is pretty much what you need to do. Just turn off all the roaming features. However when you roam it typically means you dont have service through Sprint so dont be surprised if when you turn off roaming capabilities your phone doesn't get ANY signal. Here's the link to your phones manual page 112 is about roaming.


Setting Roam Mode
Your phone allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you
can determine which signals your phone accepts.
Choose from two different settings on your phone to
control your roaming experience.
1. Press > Settings > More... > Roaming > Set Mode.
2. Highlight an option and press .
n Sprint Only to access only the Sprint network and
prevent roaming on other networks.

Network. When Sprint service is unavailable, the
phone searches for an alternate service.
Call Guard
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network: the
onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard
makes it easy to manage your roaming by requiring an
extra step before you can place or answer a roaming
call. (This additional step is not required when you make
or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint Network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Press > Settings > More... > Roaming >
Call Guard.
2. Select On or Off.

Data Roam Guard
Depending on service availability and roaming
agreements, yourphone may be able to access data
services while roaming on certain other networks. You
can set your phone to alert you when you are roaming
off the Nationwide Sprint Network and try to use data
services such as messaging.
To set your Data Roam Guard notification:
1. Press > Settings > More... > Roaming >
Data Roaming.
2. Highlight an option and press .

data services while roaming.

roaming status when you access data services.
Touse data services when Data Roam Guard is active:
