Virgin Mobile ZTE Awe N800- Won't stay connected to Shoutcast server.

Recently I purchased a Virgin mobile prepaid ZTE Awe (N800) so that I could listen to a Shoutcast server that I own. I use the phone when Im working, and it is always connected to a mobile network, as there is no wifi where I am. I use the Winamp app to listen to the stream, and connect directly to the server via url link. After about 10 minutes of streaming, the phone will randomly disconnect from the server, and I will have to re connect manually. I have tested the phone on wifi and there is no random disconnection. This leads me to believe that my phone is dropping the signal from its cell tower? A poor connection to the cell network is not the problem, as I work about 500 ft in direct line of site with a large cell tower. I am looking for a solution to stop the random disconnections, or some way to have my phone automatically reconnect to the server when it disconnects. Any help would be great. Thanks!
