It goes for all phones. ^Ernest R.

They didn't say so but the only partner it could be is Verizon.
Sprint Nextel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaOn May 9, 2006, Sprint Nextel and Alltel agreed on a new Nationwide Roaming partnership. The new roaming agreement is for voice and 1x & EV-DO data roaming coverage. This new partnership is different from the voice-only roaming agreement between Alltel & Verizon Wireless in that it is reciprocal, giving Alltel customers access to the Sprint 1x & EV-DO network, and Sprint customers access to Alltel's denser, rural 1x & EV-DO voice and data coverage. This agreement represents the first of its kind between U.S. wireless carriers. Although Alltel merged with Verizon Wireless in 2008, one of the conditions of the merger was that Verizon would honor all preexisting agreements between Alltel and other companies. The roaming reciprocity agreement between Alltel and Sprint is set to expire in 2016.
Sprint and Verizon Wireless have a reciprocal data roaming agreement that allows for the use of Sprint Power Vision content like TV, movie downloads, and stream radio in Verizon 1x coverage areas.
Sprint and US Cellular have a 1xRTT data and voice roaming agreement.
I would imagine there will be a roaming charge once you reach a certain limit. I only hope that if they do add this roaming feature for us that we will have the option of disabling it should we so desire.
But then the next question is will roaming be available to all customers who have phones that can roam, or will it only be an option for 4G customers?
And yet another question; If they do offer it for all customers, how will they enable the feature itself in the options list for the stock OpV? I don't remember ever seeing it when my phone was stock. Would they not have to push an OTA update to enable/unhide it (make it to where you can actually see it in the options)?
I swear I think that with some peoples phones it's a hardware issue, and not a VM coverage issue.
Virgin Mobile USA Hi everyone. I need to clarify comments about roaming on Virgin Mobile. Roaming is not available. We did recently update our terms and conditions (effective 7/1/12) in order to make our language more consistent with Sprint’s. There is a new reference to roaming, but we have no plans to add roaming at this time. For information on whether roaming applies, see your service plan details. Our sincere apologies. ^Justin C
