you didnt get completely correct info here... i work for sprint and can
explain it a little better.
first, you will NEVER be charged overage while on this plan (if you
indeed have the free & clear america plan with the 50% rule).
but, sprint CAN force you to change your plan if you consistently go
over the 50% roaming mark. they will contact you in advance should you
be a candidate for such action. [personally, i doubt they will take
action... i think this "50% rule" is to satisfy roaming arrangements
with local roaming affiliates who dont want thousands of sprint users
clogging their networks... a scare tactic to keep sprint users from
feeling too "free & clear"]

also, you were not really given the correct info on how he 50% is
calculated. its 50% of your total usage. lets assume you have a 500
anytime min plan w/ unlimited n&w mins and the free & clear america
option.
you use 500 anytime mins off network
500 n&w mins off network
you must use 1000 separate mins on network to make 50%
(500 + 500)off network <= (1000)on network
-or-
you use 100 anytime mins off network
200 n&w off network
you must use 300 combined anytime/n&w mins on network to make 50%
(100 + 200)off network <= (300)on network
hope this helps...
