Data on Extended Network

I travel to quite a few remote places and often have to deal with extended network. I was able to get on the internet with my prior phone, the Voyager, while on extended network. In fact, two weeks ago, in the same place I am now, had zero problems. Well, the Droid will not let me on the internet, check e-mail, check gmail, or anything internet or location based. I can place a phone call just fine and can receive text messages. I know it is Sprint's network.

So, is there any settings I can change or an app to deal with this?

Please let me know!
Thanks
 
Menu>Settings>Wireless & Network>Mobile Networks then put a check on Data roaming. I am pretty sure it is free with VZW but if you use it more then 50% of the month they will warn you and if it happens again they will terminate your contract.

That is awesome, thanks! Haven't tried it yet, but am sure it will work. I was close when digging around the settings, but didn't quite get to that one.
