Data roaming question

[CyreneK]

I frequent an area that gets horrible 3g coverage despite what the spring map says. Sprint reps have given me every possible amount of BS as far as explanations. Yesterday, I turned on data roaming and after about 3 minutes, tapatalk finally loaded. Then another 3 min for a thread ro load, etc. After about 10, I had almost a 20% battery drain and my phone was about to overheat. I heard that while roaming on Verizon towers, we're only getting 1X. Is this true?

EarlyMon just reminded me of the app in the market that takes you there without dialer codes

It is called "network"
