ANYONE. PLEASE IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO PLEASE HELP... I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW UNLOCKED MPX220 OFF EBAY AND THEY SCREWED ME!!!! ITS A UK PHONE.... THE PHONE WORKS AND ALL BUT IT SAYS IM ROAMING! IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN CHANGE IT TO THE US NETWORK?!!! OR AM I JUST SIMPLY FU%@&*?

I'm not sure where to start ... have you got a SIM card from a local (US) cell provider?

i have US gsm T-mobile, i called tmobile and the lady said it doesnt matter where the phone is from its the sim that roams. but i dont understand why its roaming in this phone but not my other one?

One point in time, I had posted a warning not to buy your mpx220 on Ebay. It does not make sense anyway. One thing for sure is that your return/exchange is very limited if there is one at all.

Another is the manufacturer's waranty. I am on my third mpx220 already and thanks to the manufacturer's waranty, I was able to return and exchange my phone to a working one. Of course if you buy it from some one else, guess what, your information wont be on either Motorola's not any other carriers database and so no way to know when you got the phone.

But in your case, hey it really does not matter if it says that it is Roaming AS LONG AS T-MOBILE IS NOT CHARGING YOU FOR THE USE OF THE ROAMING.

Actually, when I am travelling, my mpx220 also roams (even though I have the national plan from CIngular) but Cingular does not charge for this roaming.

I called Cingular and they explained to me that the reason why it is Roamin is because it is using the AT&T networks (which is also now Cingular owned). But I do not get charged for this.

So ask T-mobile if this is also the case with you.
