Is this an OS bug, a Cingular bug (the phone's an unlocked Cingular on the Rogers network), or can the registry be hacked to correct it?
This is a guess and possibly FUD. On CDMA devices, there is a hidden PRL file. Preferred Roaming Location? This file tells a device if it is on its home territory. Unlocking the device isn't going to change that and I don't know for sure...but maybe Cingular customized it to connect only to GPRS voice when on Roaming.
Was the Jamin branded?

Possibly the antenna sucks?
